President Donald Trump again reiterated in the Oval Office on Wednesday afternoon that the ballroom is being "paid for 100% by me and some friends of mine," referencing donors. "The government is paying absolutely nothing."

Trump also appeared to increase the cost estimate by $50-$100 million, telling reporters during his remarks on Wednesday the price tag for the new venue was "about $300 million" -- more than the $200-$250 million estimates previously given.


Now we know where he arrived at that $230m price tag from DoJ for his pain and suffering when he was being investigated. That is how he'll get the extra money for his ballroom. We can be sure that there will be even more cost overruns than that $50-100m that he is claiming now.

What an ass that guy is.
