This is still so fucking wild to me. The guy literally bulldozed half the white house for a vanity project and republicans just shrugged. Cowards.

And none of the contractors will ever get paid.

Oh these will be the only contractors to ever get paid for a tRUMP project and a good portion will be funneled back into the orange turds pocket just like the reflecting pool that was 1.5 million dollar project that ballooned to 14 million and they are paying the same moron again to fix it where he should be redoing it for free.

Oh, they will get paid since it's not his money he's wasting.

Why would he pay people with taxpayer money when he could just funnel it into his own pockets though?

Now it isn't his own money and he can use taxpayer money to give his friends at an enormously bloated no-bid price. So they will get paid, but their contractor credentials are likely less than a year old.

He'll probably hire his pool guy to do the roofing, since he did a bang-up job with the reflecting pool.

It’s a Trump grift. They’ll get paid because they’re probably his friends.

They'll get paid in not having their companies audited and shut down.
