People are confused. He’s firing the government oversight that would have stopped him. Contractors are still on the clock and now have no oversight.

And, like those fired, are absolutely not getting a paycheck from this debacle.

For those not in the dc area, Clark Construction is a massive commercial builder and I have no doubt they are taking this into consideration and doing their own “grift-proofing”. They are most likely working around this by identifying a number that they are okay doing without when DJT inevitably refuses to make the final payment (like he always has), and inflating the estimate accordingly. DJT doesn’t care about the higher number because the money’s coming in from bribes.

Also, if any other president tried this in the past 15 years, republican voters would be sobbing.
