Aloha Will, let's talk about that idiot ballroom, now revealed to include bunkers beneath. POTUS insists on making everything about himself, namely money and having his name on everything. Next up Florida Airport. He likes to scream about the previous Admin adding to US debt meanwhile (at my last count) looks like hes adding 4T more, all the while cutting many States' safety nets for environmental and humanities.

Honestly how much money does he need? Major thing hanging him up are the the files that he is trying to hide forever. Think Putin has something on him, likely that video taken in a Russian Hotel room. It's got to be something.
