    Oh this was my favorite part of the article…

    Graham said Monday that the ballroom should be paid for with $400 million in taxpayer funds collected in the form of national park fees and customs fees, with the private funding Trump secured going to extra costs like fine china.

      Haha I think I zoned out midway through the quote from him. So trump raised something like $300 million according to him previously and that’s only going to go to place settings.
