WTF?!?!?

200 Million pissed away on some Bullshite?

Where is the MAGA outrage? 🤔

P J Johnston's avatar

I don't think they comprehend and I rather doubt that FOX News will even mention it or the price in their broadcasts.

They’ll be sending donations to their CULT leader. 🤯

To help build the ballroom and furnish the gold inlays.

tRump will start a GoFundMe page.

Yeah, right? (Crickets)

There is none, or damned little. As long as he is seen as their king, halo and all, I doubt that there IS much of a bridge too far for many of them. Blind and unquestioning faith does that to otherwise ordinary folks. I suspect that many feel that all of his 'hard work' on their behalf deserves all the 'treats' he reserves for himself. And, I think that they see him as giving them back the white, male and xtian high status that the women, non-white and non-xtians have 'stolen' from them, simply by virtue of existing. Isn't narcissistic solipsism a lovely thing?

Golden palaces. Obscene displays of wealth while the poor starve. Why do I have mental images of Louis XIV, Marie and Versailles, n'est-ce pas? Je suis un Jacque.

Truth to tell, it was actually Louis XV and XVI that had gotten in trouble, especially XVI, for previous callous cluelessness (like, quite possibly XIV's). :-/

But one thing I will say in defense of the House of Bourbon: they did help us out in the American Revolution when we really, really badly needed it.

(Of course, that was mostly to put one in the eye of the British, but still... :D)

And that was a Rousseau quote, where "a great princess" said "let them eat cake" in 1767. Marie Antoinette at the time was in grade school in Austria, and /might've/ known where France was on a map, maybe. :-/

Thank you, I appreciate your correction. Still, the sentiment holds. By the way, I wonder if this is another squirrel being thrown our way. $100 milluon paid by Trump?🤥 Myterious donors with another $100 mil (from Mexico, no doubt). $200 mil total? Maybe if he stiffs all the contractors as has done (allegedly🤫) every other project.

The thing about standing up to bullies; it's not loud like they are, it's not violent like they are, and it's effective. Know there are lots of people doing this, when we open our eyes to look.

Have been participating with Indivisible.org, 50501, and Mobilize. They have organized civil disobedience around the country, and it works.

Nancy's avatar

Not standing up to bullies just makes their bullying worse. X-P

I know RK isn't terribly popular these days, but I've always liked this poem of his, re: bullying...

Amen, Amen and Amen! You damn his vulgar greed and base ignorance!

Bren M's avatar

The biggest joke is he’s claiming he’s paying for it. So when his contractors don’t get paid as usual, do they put a lien on the White House?

JP's avatar

He still hasn't paid workers from the 2016, 2020 and 2024 elections. I, too, keep forgetting that you can't believe a word he says. He's not normal.

Cynthia Christiansen's avatar

Hope so, many of We the People would be glad to see that taken away from him. All the more reason to get the grifter removed.

Need a "disgusted" emoji

Snarktopia's avatar

😤 This to me is the emoji of disgust. It is still not enough. He is such a bottom dweller.

Carla Jo's avatar

Do not insult the true bottom dweller who clean up the mess from the ocean floor. :)

Nancy's avatar

Dwellers, plural. Many species. :)

All hard-working, upright (well, depending on the species; it's tough down there at the depths!), practical folks struggling hard in the dark, just to make a living... :)

Cynthia Christiansen's avatar

That melted lard of #Felon47 naked was quite disgusting. 😆 Can't unsee that!

Nancy's avatar

Oh, ick; where was that, so I can avoid it? :-/

Not referring to the South Park, were you? :D

Jana's avatar

I just can't find anything nice to say. Fuck Trumpstein Pedo Taco.

What makes him think he will even live that long? In any case, he is a horrible excuse for a human. I try to be a kind person, and I *would* ask that you have mercy on his soul, but I'm too fond of Hammurabi's Code of Laws. An eye for an eye, Baby!

Katrina Ludvig's avatar

I try to be kind, too, but fuck Trump.

Mary Hall's avatar

Think about it. T💩p is one of the worst mofos in the world. If we put him in his place (six feet under would be good), then we are being kind to the other eight billion people in the world.

Cynthia Christiansen's avatar

The best thing to do with 💩 is bury it and allow time to turn it back to fertilizer.

Nancy's avatar

Hmm; could plants even break down that much Sintered Microplastic That Walks Like a Man? :-/

Cynthia Christiansen's avatar

Heard there are organisms which eat that stuff. Great candidate to finding out. 😆

Michelle DeAnne's avatar

Thank you. That makes me feel better. :-)

Cynthia Christiansen's avatar

One has to have a soul to have mercy on. They sold theirs to the highest bidder long ago.

Honk, honk mother fucker!

You know that the Don is just a distraction while those behind the scenes are doing their best to make all the decisions and make the Don look like is his ideas. DJT , just signs what is put in front of him, as he uses all the taxpayers money to do whatever the fu($ he wants, how do we stop all this crap??????

We need to protest in front of the homes of everyone involved in the behind the scenes , or their businesses. We need to really BOYCOTT more businesses, and corporations. Let’s get going people, wake up and smell the crap going on!!!

Cynthia Christiansen's avatar

Project 2025's playbook indeed.

Maria Boyd's avatar

Yes. We should get a van (or several vans) and just drive from house to house and let our outrage be known. I am not good at the creative part-the signs, the chants, but I can drive…..

President Pedo 👏yep, just call it what it is, sad but true

Scott Bernstein's avatar

No way that dementia-ridden, diseased pile of nazi shit is alive in 2028.

God, you make laugh so much. That first meme killed me 😂

You sir, are going straight to HEAVEN because you bring the joy in these evil days.

But, Of COURSE he is destroying the East Wing in order to build a golden ballroom. And, of COURSE he had to destroy Jackie Kennedy's rose garden. It all makes perfect sense. The ballroom is part of his plans to be King Louis of France. Not certain whether it would be Louis 14, 15 or 16, but it is the one who built the Palace of Versailles. Soggy Britches Taco went there when he visited France and decided he wanted, and deserves, an even bigger, more golden expression of his divine royalty. I kinda hope, although I doubt it is true, that he is emulating Louis 16, since he was the one who showed all of France how a guillotine works. And as far as the Rose Garden goes - well, the Kennedy's created a kind of Camelot...a sense that we could do anything, as long as we worked together in a thriving democracy. And, since he seems incapable of creating good and joy, why the hell would old Mushroom Member want us to honor and be reminded of a President and First Lady who actually, you know, cared about the Constitution and the people? He is busy rewriting history, casting himself as the Eternal Hero and God King. Oh, dear and much-loved God & Young Dude, I am beginning to fear that Fungoid unFun Button and his ass-sucking minions may win this. Got any spare lightning bolts hanging around, just dying to be thrown at Taco? Please? I'll even call you Zeus the Mighty...🤪

Nancy's avatar

It was commissioned by XIV, but XVI eventually "paid" for it by having his clueless head chopped off. :-/

How soon was it since he visited Versailles that he decided on the Golden Shower -- oops, Ballroom? :-/

Christie sebo's avatar

The golden calf is redecorating in his own image, tacky af. Build it and they will come? Who? All the people the world despises? Shiny stupid people? The entertainment? Pageants? Piped in stolen music? There is nothing 24 carat here, just gold painted illusions of grandeur.
