1. It will eventually cost 1 billion USD. Trumpian Griftflation at work.

2. Let's be real

It’s likely never being built and will be another grift. I’d keep an eye on his connections with the contractors. All we will end up with is a destroyed White House. One wing gone and the rest looking like a 1980s casino.

3. The higher the cost, the bigger his cut will be.

5. I hope...

that nobody in the electorate is naive enough to believe that Trump isn't skimming money off the top of this "venture".

4. I wonder if...

a chunk of the "private money" funding this fiasco is coming from Russia. Somebody needs to check on the contractors to see if the Russian government or mafia is involved covertly.
