Or the Capitol Planning Commission will approve a scaled down ballroom and Trump will pocket hundreds of millions of excess funds raised.

Remember that this is just another Trump grift to collect more money than he needs for the project and pocket the difference. I bet he skimps on the build, too, to keep more. Just like his first inauguration.

No need to worry.

He's got to show that he's a tough guy that's not going to listen to any female bishop. Compassion? Hmph!

Caitlin Jenner gets her own reward for supporting Trump.

Speaking as a psychiatrist, change is scary. Republicans are able to capitalize on that by painting Democrats as progressives promoting a different future, even though the public likes changes such as improved healthcare, environment or rights. Dems have to assuage peoples natural fear of change.

And he never accounted for all he collected for his 2017 inauguration. It's easy to pay him off. If you're a foreigner, just order some $100,000 watches that he will never produce.

I think it's a distraction. The 24 hour news monster feeds on new stories and Trump takes advantage of that. Notice that the media isn't talking about his personnel picks anymore?

Don't forget skiing!
