Democrats: Do the American people really want a ballroom?

It seems to me to be about a 90-10 issue?

Ballroom. The word itself conjures up glitz and glamour and wealth.

Is this something the American people really want to celebrate.

If Democrats cannot use this issue to their advantage, then what are they waiting for?

At first, he was going to have his wealthy friends pay for it. Perhaps laundered money?

Then Lindsay Graham says the taxpayers should pay for it? He asked, what is more important than protecting the Commander in Chief? How long do they expect this Commander in Chief to use this ballroom? They talk as if Trump is going to be in charge forever.

Even if the White House had a ballroom, the WHCD wouldn't have been held there. Why should the taxpayers be involved in the cost of private events?

They know because they were told they wanted a ballroom, even though they will never be invited to it.
