President Donald Trump’s costly White House ballroom continues to stir outrage after a newly released proposal confirmed that Senate Republicans are seeking $1 billion from taxpayers for the project — despite prior claims that construction would be privately funded.
The reconciliation package that Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released on Monday focuses on federal law enforcement, border security and the ballroom — which the White House said last year would cost $200 million to build.
Critics on social media blasted the project’s inflating cost.
“The ballroom went from $200 million & privately funded, to $300 million, to $400 million and taxpayers cover some of it, to MAGA trying to silently jam through $1 BILLION, 100% of which is our tax money, for this ballroom,” wrote one X user. “WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE.”
