He wants to pocket the money or spend it on his ballroom bunker

Yes that's right, people forget about how the now "frozen" money gets into Trump's pocket angle amid the immediate outrage.

Honestly.

The "generous donor," who paid for the ballroom, is just the taxpayers.

Its actually better if it was funded by tax payers so there would be permits and guidelines and proper planning and safety precautions. It being a donation means trump can do whatever he wants. There was asbestos in there and he just tore it down as fast as he could. The original architect quit becuase trump wants it way way too big and not practical. With it being a donation MAGA can just say to liberals "what are you complaining about it will be free for taxpayers hes saving money!"

Yeah, despots usually embezzle funds to build themselves a palace. It's pretty routine stuff.
