When Donald Trump gets stressed during the day, he often amuse himself by turning to his White House ballroom project.
Trump claimed that the White House ballroom would be funded by private donations, but that is not true.
Taxpayers bear the costs of demolition and construction.
Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA) wants to put a stop to this during the government shutdown.
Takano introduced legislation that bed :
During any expiration period for appropriations for a fiscal year, no Federal funds may be used for construction or renovation of the White House, on the White House grounds, or in any structure on the White House grounds, 3 unless such construction or renovation is directly related to health or safety issues.
The legislation applies to the government shutdown, but plenty of other evidence suggests Democrats are going after Trump’s ballroom at the White House.
