      Because he’s a delusional narcissist that suffers from galloping dementia and is completely out of touch with reality. Plus he enjoys causing suffering for others.

          "In the middle of 1985, I got an invitation from Adnan Khashoggi, a Saudi Arabian and a billionaire at the time, to come to his apartment in Olympic Tower. I went, and while I didn’t particularly go for the apartment, I was impressed by the huge size of its rooms. Specifically, it had the biggest living room I’d ever seen. I had plenty of space in my triplex, but I figured, What the hell? Why shouldn’t I have exactly the apartment I wanted—particularly when I built the whole building?

          I decided to take over one of the other apartments on the top three floors and combine it with mine. It has taken almost two years to renovate, but I don’t believe there is any apartment anywhere in the world that can touch it. And while I can’t honestly say I need an eighty-foot living room, I do get a kick out of having one."

          Guess who said that.

        Why isn’t Trump using those bribes to feed Americans instead? Doesn’t he care about Americans? Does Trump ballroom more than he wants Americans children to not go hungry?

        And the majority of Americans:

        A. Openly wanted this

        B. Didn’t care enough to view it happening as a problem

        C. Didn’t think it would happen?

      Because it’s paid for with bribes “donations”

      This is also how he was able to skirt congressional oversight on it.

        No, he moved forward without bothering to ask anyone for permission and then fired the oversight agency when they loudly complained about the complete destruction of the East Wing.
