Trump II Ballroom Price Rises 200% in Less than a Year


Trump II's ballroom cost $200 million in July 2025 and the project was completely funded by private donors.  It's now $600 million with the U.S. taxpayer picking up $300 million.

Trump II can flat out spend money.  His signature project rose 200%.  How much is cost inflation vs. egotistical machinations?  

TechGods and private equity underwriters (PEU) hate paying taxes.  Apparently, they also have a limit on donations.  I expect someday they will prefer predictable taxation vs. regular fundraising phone calls from the White House for pet project after pet project.
