Trump and Republicans Want YOU to Pay $400 Million for His Ballroom - The Daily Show

Plus, Jordan Klepper finds out if other countries have security ideas better than just "ballroom."

The fuck grifter does this all the time.

I'm so sick of feeling hatred. And all our government does earns nothing but hatred. Lying, scheming, grifting con artists.

It was all a lie to cover up a huge mistake/lie. He never said anything about who those donors were. He just blurted out that he had funding from donors when all hell from objectors broke loose after he started demolition. I don't know whether there is a video of that crap he blurted, but you could tell that he was making it up as he was blabbering. Just like everything else he does, it's all fake and lies. The U.S. Govt. needs to send him all of the bills to fix that mess.
