I am not commenting on this article. However, I do want to comment on THE BALLROOM !
Please, I hope you are not going to support Congress in giving money to build it. We do not need it as a safe place for Trump. The Secret Service has done well in protecting him. He tore up the rose garden because He wanted a ballroom and said tax dollars would not be used to build it. Now that his friends have not come through with the money; he wants to use the safety issue so he can get the needed funds for His ballroom. I voted for President Trump because of his promises. Most of which he has not kept.
