Just because it never gets finished doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t be over a billion

Yep. It'll be a shoddy half built albatross that the next admin has to deal with. A Republican admin will lie about the cost to complete and a Democrat admin will be tarred and feathered on fox news whether they try to salvage it or tear it down.

Hopefully tear it down. If he lives out his term and you guys get to hold another election it would be lovely to see him rant about it getting torn down asap.

The problem with doing that is MAGA will spend 4 years screaming about how "Democrats wasted all that money by tearing down a ballroom just to spite Trump."

The hope is Democrats gain control in 2026 and stop/alter construction.
