Good faith privately-funded White House ballroom discussion

from the Washington Examiner which I imagine is one of your trusted news sources:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Monday announced he is introducing legislation seeking to fund President Donald Trump’s ballroom project.

The bill would direct $400 million in federal funding to the White House’s new ballroom, which will include a military bunker as part of its national security enhancements. Trump has argued the new venue is necessary to address security concerns sparked by the recent shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner at the Washington Hilton, which he attended and was forced to evacuate.

Not sure what your point is in this post. There are two proposals. This one and Rand Paul’s. Graham is playing gotcha just trying to force a vote likely knowing it will fail.

That is what should have happened at the very beginning, but Trump is allergic to having to get Congress' approval for anything. He wants to be a king who can build anything he feels like. He doesn't want to be told what he can do or how he can do it.

So what should happen is a law is passed to build a smaller ballroom that fits in with the design of the white house and Trump can't change the design without approval from Congress.

Yes, his King complex makes it hard to ask permission.
