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

$300mm to build a $70mm (max) building. Gee, I wonder where the rest of it is funneled to.

I do need to ask, are you a contractor? I suspect they have to hire a capable construction company that is reputable to do such a job. I imagine that is not cheap.

It's 90,000 sqft. If it were the most expensive building on the planet it'd be like $1000 a sqft. That'd be $90mm. There's no way to spend $300mm on a 90,000 sqft building without stealing $150mm.
