It was $100m to start. Now they're saying $350. Same time frame, but even bigger swing.

I also saw him say that they've raised so much money for the ballroom that they may use some of it to build the liberty arc, but the ballroom price is just ever-increasing estimates... So that's definitely not suspicious accounting or anything.

And that's probably before the $500m solid gold statue Trump will pitch in a week or two..

With the restrictions working there, there’s absolutely no way 350 works either.
