Wednesday

so that he can relocate his Mar-A-Gago dinner grifting to his home in DC.........
He has full house dinners for donors down at Mar-a-gago, at thousands a plate.
He is just making a ballroom, ten times the size of his florida ballroom, with plans to increase his take, off of the per plate charge by ten times....
Plus, if he hosts one of those dinners for donors in Mar-a-gago.....he has to foot the complete bill for everything including food......
In this new facility, the U.S. Taxpayers will pick up the cost for everything spent to host his guests, and he will receive the money from the per plate charges deposited in his personal phony PAC.

It is being reported that the ballroom addition in DC will hold 1,000 dinner guests......multiply that at his "per plate" dinner charge........
I can imagine that the construction will be fast tracked so he can start grifting the "spoils" by next spring......LOL

We all will have to watch the construction closely for what goes on BELOW GROUND LEVEL..... under this monstrosity.......
