This money is for security enhancements to The White House. Is this more Iranian propaganda?

At least we can be rest assured none of that money will get skimmed.

And here I was thinking they were somehow purposely building an unsecure event space. Thanks for clarifying!

Yes, it will be a secured Ballroom.
Not sure why that is so difficult to understand.

Not just enhancements to The White House.
More specifically . . . the Ballroom.

OP literally posted that the cost of the ballroom was up to 1 Billion because of an allocation to the entire White House of 1 Billion to pay for security upgrades. Such allocation only allowed for funds for security aspects of the new ballroom. The bill CLEARLY excluded any other expense to the new ballroom that wasn't specifically for security.

Unfortunately, folks who either don't take the time to or don't have the ability to read well, did not realize this and failed to see how the OP was completely incorrect. I tried to educate folks who proceeded to further demonstrate failures in logic and/or reading comprehension. Please do better y'all.

POTUS says ballroom under $400 M.

Security / other upgrades to the area inside the WH fence. The subterranean security compound was apparently upgraded after 9 / 11 on the DL, and there was an ongoing construction project. Afterwards there was dirt/ grass sinkage around the large air vents around the WH.

This is misinformation, posted a second time. Come on man.

No misinformation.

Just poor reading comprehension by those who can't understand that the
EAST WING MODERNIZATION PROJECT = THE BALLROOM.

"$1,000,000,000...relating to the East Wing Modification Project..."

$1 billion out the door, with the sunroof and cruise control.

PART of the $1 billion can go towards security enhancements related to the East sing modernization project. NONE of the money can be used for anything having to do with the project that doesn't relate to security.

With your logic, does this mean it is now up to 1.4 billion??? Obviously, 100% of the project isn't security. Please use common sense.

So $1,4 billion out the door then, with the Napa leather and Bowers & Wilkins sound system.

I just love the ballroom idea! The reason I love it is that it's one more nail in Trump's coffin (figuratively).

Trump's supporters are surprisingly stubborn, I'll give them that, but with each one of Trump's gaffes and missteps, a few more peel away... and now his support is below 40%!

There is no reason to be having this conversation. In a sane world, 47's obsession is what DOGE would be stopping.

On-site ballroom needed, just too big.

"Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C., accommodates anywhere from 150 to 750 guests for a standard sit-down dinner, depending on the floor plan and whether you need space for a dance floor, stage, or audio-visual equipment."

1. What was Hitler's approval rating at the end? We've got a long ways to go.

2. I can think of a better place for that nail.

I propose a democrat billionaire run for president. If he states that he will spend his own money to raze Trump's monument to himself then he's got my vote.

I bet Trump has a secret team installing secret bugging equipment that transmits data to Mar a Lago. He's probably wiring up the FEC, the IRS, the Justice Department, and the Treasury has a secret underground tunnel to (undisclosed private residence).

Projecting? It was the Obama SpyGate operation where the FBI fabricated the Steele dossier (pee tape) - washed through Europe - funneled back into our FBI / DOJ, to get illegal FISA warrants on Carter Page and others. With the "two hop" surveillance rule, they could have surveillance over the whole Trump team.

Lots of this high-level coordination was vomited in Susan Rice's email to self in her CYA email, putting Obama, Comey; Sally Yates, who was the acting attorney general; VP Joe Biden; and Rice, who was Flynn's predecessor in the job.

Many others were under surveillance, including the Department of Treasury and possibly Dr. Ben Carson.

On top of that, Senior FISA Court Judge Rosemary Collyer wrote a 99-page judicial finding detailing tens or hundreds of thousands of illegal FISA NSA database queries by outside (Democrat) 'consulting' firms (think FusionGPS).

Investigations have found that FISA warrants were abused; Carter Page was previously a government source, but now a potential spy?; abd Igor Danchencko worked for the Brookings Institute and was later a paid FBI Confidential Human Source (to keep him quiet?).

Don't forget Robert Mueller leaving his Smartphone in the White House; or the PhoneGate episode of over two dozen Democrat DOJ attorneys illegally wiping their Federal smartphones.

So your comments are very rich.

I do what I can. As for the ridiculousness of the claim--if it were true--he would be leaking sensitive military information.
