I read this morning that the palace ballroom that Mr. Trump is trying to add to the White House will cost nearly a billion dollars. A high price to pay for a few privileged to dine in luxury on Big Macs. It is doubtful that the promise that no public funds will be used will be kept since the Trump track record is the opposite. The Reflective Pool disaster and like projects have been on the taxpayer’s dime. Predictably, the current administration has shown interest only in projects that enhance the Trump ego or his bank account. A billion dollars could provide much help to citizens suffering from the effects of floods, tornadoes and fires. Will we ever give priority to the governed?
