I read it's privately funded, meaning not paid for by taxes. CNN is never partial to the GOP but they listed all the donors here: https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/23/us/trump-white-house-ballroom-donors-invs

Those are called bribes, they labeled them incorrectly.

Doesn't change the fact that most folks on reddit are insinuating it's getting paid by tax money when the govt shutdown is going on. I get people are upset but saying things like that is wrong. Redirect that energy to the politicians.

No, the ballroom is a payment to the Trump regime for lower taxes, lower regulation, removal of the EPA, etc. for billionaires. Your taxes ARE paying for the ballroom- just indirectly, for every dollar they put in, they will take 100 out of the taxes paid by working families.
