He's going to want a bunker down there too isn't he?

...

And overcharging for EVERYTHING. all the rooms rented, food sold, etc, ALL billed to the taxpayers. Almost EVERY weekend.

... They should name lethal virus after him, then his name will live on in the infamy it deserves.

And of course Trump will wait for permits.

till he dies.

forever and ever and ever in the White House grand ballroom, they can always stick him next to the 9th hole.

It's not the 1920's anymore, but it sure is looking like the run-up to 1929.

Who does he think he is, Fred Astaire?

What is it about ballrooms with this guy?

and he likes events where women are in strapless gowns

Mobutu was, as you may know, the longtime (and CIA-installed) dictator of what's now the DR Congo.

Already a poor country, he drove what was then Zaire into the ground by basically treating the central bank as his own piggy bank - and generous U.S. and French aid as his personal payments.

And what money didn't end up in European banks and estates, it ended up paying for the construction (using costly European contractors) of several mansions scattered throughout Zaire - one of the largest countries in the world.

One looked like a Chinese temple in the Forbidden City, and another included a runway big enough for a Concord.

Few dared complain.

That's Cheeto's model of governance: that of a craven African dictator.

Tangential...
I once saw The Concord take off from JFK airport via binoculars while at my then job up on the NE 73rd flr of South Tower 2 in '80, or '81.
Beautiful, like a gigantic white bird!

I can only imagine the additional taxpayer burden such an expansion will entail.

but it's been that way for decades.

I don't begrudge a former president basic protection. It's the massive year-round drain on secret service resources and tax dollars that this post-presidency private vanity project will entail that I find intolerable.

Imagine how many rooms are rented to SS agents, staff etc.
ALL far over priced.

his golf clubs should all lose their liquor licenses

I’d guess that the contractors who do the WH construction will also work on this project. Miraculously the costs for his Bedminster construction will be almost nothing.

“ They did such an unbelievable job on the WH that….”

went to his donor/Palm Beach neighbor/fellow federal felon. The extra money would cover free pool services at Maralago and Doral, at taxpayer expense.

Nobody gives a flying fukk about his ballrooms, except maybe fellow pedos

Or ... maybe he's going to bury another ex-wife?!? ....

WTF ? Is Donald going to overload the present sewage building? Jesus Christ!!

His Depends can only hold so much. It will be a toxic waste site on par with Chernobyl.

is so over budget, now we can pay for this ballroom with the money trump embezzled.

Too risky to just dump your enemies' bodies in the Loxahatchee River wearing a cement overcoat.

Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., has filed an application to add an 11,330-square-foot ballroom and covered rooftop terrace to its clubhouse.

was gonna be for burial plots
