The Billion (with a B) is ADDITIONAL to the $400 Million supposedly being funded by private donors, for a total of $1.4 Billion.

You see, the $400 Million is for the Ballroom itself, but it's up to us Losers and Suckers to pay for the security. the hospital, the command offices, etc. that will be below the ballroom. Trust me...there's only one thing I want buried under this ballroom, and that's trump himself.

We knew, didn't we all, that this would happen. It's trump, after all.
