The U.S. continues to be engaged in a conflict with Iran, which is causing an increase in consumer prices. America’s affordability crisis remains a significant issue, and the President still desires his $400 million ballroom. As highlighted by Josh Johnson on The Daily Show, Donald Trump’s controversial White House construction project is a hot topic in Washington, D.C. A group of Senate Republicans, led by Sen. Lindsey Graham, is advocating for a bill to use taxpayer money to fund the president’s ballroom, citing security requirements.
“$400 million is way too much,” Johnson remarked during the show. “Why is this ballroom so expensive? Is the roof going to be made of Coachella tickets? What could possibly make this thing cost so much?”
Footage shows Graham explaining, “Underneath, there will be a lot of military stuff.”
“‘Military stuff?’ What military stuff? Name 10 military stuffs. I’ll wait,” Johnson quipped.
Johnson adds perspective: “This is not what a president should be focusing on unless they’re seven years old, making a list like, ‘I want a slide from my bed to the pool, and a suit made out of candy. If I get hungry, I can eat my shirt.'”
