      You didn’t read the article I guess. There is already one at Mar a Lago.

      It also says he and donors will pay for it. Does anyone believe that I wonder.

    Building an opulent ballroom while making sure millions will lose their homes, go without healthcare, and starve? This sounds like the last days of the French monarchy.

      It’s actually just a distraction. The real corruption is the 5 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires and the 1 trillion in healthcare cuts for Medicaid to partially for it. If you’re talking millions you’re being distracted.

    Lib. “Crony capitalism” is not a thing. It’s just capitalism. There is no form of capitalism that doesn’t involve cronyism, that is just the natural conclusion of private ownership.

      I agree with you 100%, and Marx was very clear that capitalism is filled with theft and oppression. It’s nice that Marx also at times rested his critique of capitalism abstracting all the crony-ness and analyzed capitalism with ‘good intentions,’ showing that even without the oppression/theft it’s a failed system.

      edit: misread!

          I like to blatantly call it out for those that are still struggling with it. I understand for those like us, it is redundant.

            That is not only not helpful but actually bad. You’re just muddying the waters.

            The communists disdain to hide their views and aims

            You are doing the opposite of blatantly calling it out you are reinforcing those who may be still struggling to understand in their assumption that this is the “bad” capitalism and leaving open the idea there is some sort of “good” capitalism.

    The scary part about the ballroom is that he wouldn’t be building it at the WH if he expected to be out of there in 3 years. He’d be building it at Mar-a-Lago or something.
