    Maybe we could reshape the ballroom to look like a bone spur?

    Add the cost of ripping it up to the cost of restoring the white house for the next admin. Start with restoring the rose garden and getting the vegas decorations out.

      Take it out of his fortune. Triple damages.

      And that’s just for starters. He’s going to pay to rebuild Iran out of his own pocket.

    We could have a referendum on how important it is to taxpayers to protect Trump from missiles. Maybe a simultaneous one for shooting one at him.

      The 1.6 billion ballroom will probably not be finished, but the money is somehow gone.

        I dunno, 2.2 billion for a ballroom seems like a great deal.

          Yeah, almost a steal at 3.6 billion. I can’t believe they got such a good deal. They’re practically saving trillions.
