Trump begins tearing down parts of the White House to build his ballroom. This is completely nuts - privately funded and not approved by Congress and they're tearing down a historic building. These people have no shame. | What a noob - should have used public money to pay for this!

Privately funded by embezzling taxpayer funds into his bank account by charging his own security exorbitant amounts to stay at mar a lago.

Remember the time that Trumpty Dumpty was hawking merch during his election campaign last year?
Gold Sneakers? $399.99 US.
Trump Bible. $60 US
Guess what? All that garbage that Cheeto was selling was made in China.
The "Get Tough on China" president is an absolute hypocrite. -made money selling merch during election campaign by selling stuff made in China.
Then he gets tough on China by raising tariffs to 155% on made in Chinese goods during his second term on POTUS.
Meanwhile, the American people are going to pay much more on goods made in China now. Electronics, toys, shoes, clothing, etc.
He really thinks that companies are going to absorb the 155% tariffs on Chinese goods as American importers??
-complaining about unfair trade practices from China now while making money hawking merch made in China during an election campaign last year.

Looks the the ballroom may be tax payer funded. He is suing the DOJ for 230 million. He may sent that money on the ballroom. https://nypost.com/2025/10/21/us-new...rce=reddit.com

He really thinks that companies are going to absorb the 155% tariffs on Chinese goods as American importers?? | When the tariffs have been artificially set to be that high, wouldn't trade just come to a screeching halt since there is no way any profits can be made from the goods?
Wasn't that what happened for a period of time earlier this year when Trump/US and Xi/China got into exactly the same spat? I think it was Trump slapping one tariff on China, then China hit back, and the tariffs just escalated to something in the 150% range, at which point China just stopped playing the game and said they would no longer respond to any further tariff hikes.
This only played out a couple of months ago. How can Trump not remember this, and expect a different outcome when he is doing exactly the same thing all over again? 
The only difference is -- in the previous round, importers had been stocking up and hoarding goods in anticipation of the tariff wars so that when it actually hit, they still had inventory to release. Now that existing inventory has dwindled down, and as our resident inside mole has told us, international shipping has really slowed down.
Good luck on not seeing inflated prices soon...

What are the chances of us seeing more Americans cross the border to buy stuff for the U.S. Thanksgiving and Christmas?
MAGAs buying electronics, clothes, etc. in Canada during the upcoming holidays?
"Oh no, Black Friday shopping is so expensive in November now because of the tariffs. Hey, let's drive into Canada to do some Black Friday shopping!"
