Since this is privately funded I won't complain about it, but $200 millions seems like a lot of money for a ballroom, doesn't it? Why is it so expensive? Seems to me a ball room should be in the single digit millions. If Trump over does it with the opulence, like he does in his own homes, I will find that tacky and inappropriate for the White House. But we'll see when it's done I guess.
apparently it's needed vast upgrading for a long, long time

200 million is a drop in the bucket compared to a couple billion is it not? And tat 200 million for Trump's deal is not coming from tax payers

I appreciate that taxpayers are not paying for it, but still why would a single ballroom renovation cost $200 million? You could build 500 $400,000 homes with that money. Remember, Trump bitched at Powell for spending $3.1 billion to fully renovate 3 entire office buildings.

Im a builder and it sounds insane but if private citizens are paying for it, I dont really care, I dont want any tax dollars going toward it, we dont need a gov ballroom imo
