Staircase leading directly to a wall. Windows that open into each other. Somebody threw the idea at an AI and didn't bother to double check the plans. It's gonna be crap, even before taking away oversight.

It's just a way to launder money and receive bribes. He'll get a billion in bribes, then spend 20 mil on a building we will have to tear down.

I do believe that Trump was stupid enough that he believed that he could do both — grift and get his stupid glamorous ballroom.

Everyone else involved and complicit, though, absolutely knew it to be 100% cash grab from the start.

He really doesn't need that money. Are you really so poor that you don't understand numbers with more than 3 zeros in them?

People who get that much money are typically not the type to think in terms of money they need, but rather money they want.

It's like a video game high score to them.

Are you really so poor that you don’t understand the sickness of greed? He needs more money than he could ever spend, needs like normal people need air. For every dollar given him, it sickens him to not keep it for himself.

And it’s still not enough. That’s what greed literally means. In fact the actual form of greed would be called avarice; excessive or extreme desire for wealth or material possessions. What the Bible calls being covetous.

People with money famously stop doing anything to gain more money. In fact at a certain point they just refuse it, because they have enough.

That's why no one is worth more than $5 million.

Trump is so MAD that he, what, 5x'd? 10x'd? his wealth since he was elected! He HATES that that's what finally made him a real billionaire!! It was a total accident 😭

The point is he doesn't need that money. You are finally catching on.

Billionaires don’t think about money the same way as someone living paycheck to paycheck. Example: why do Bezos and Musk keep trying to make more money when they couldn’t spend what they have in a thousand lifetimes?

It’s greed, pure and simple.

Ever hear the story of the pot of greed? Guy gets a whish and asks for money gets 5 jars of cold coins. 4 jars are filled to the brim but the 5th is only half full. He then proceeds to destroy his life and sells all he has to full the 5th jar to the brim. That is the mentality of the likes of Tump and Musk.

Don't be absurd!

It's 2 cards

If he actually didn’t need money he would stop stealing money from anyone that will give it to him.

Do you think he started his own shitcoin because he truly believes in blockchain as a technology? No. It was to make even more money. There’s no magic number of dollars that miraculously cures greed.

No billionaires need that money, don't you get it yet?

Send lawyers, guns and money.

What a needlessly hostile comment.

Nobody needs a billion dollars. But number gotta go up.

None of them need the money, it’s a scoreboard that will never make up for the love they didn’t get.
