Trump now claims the Reflecting Pool renovation will cost just $10–12 million and be finished before July 4th, mocking prior government estimates that reportedly reached into the hundreds of millions. But here’s the problem: Investigative reporting already found the project tied to unusually expensive no-bid contracts, inflated profit margins, and rushed construction timelines tied to White House deadlines. So Americans are being told two completely different stories at once. One: Trump is the businessman saving taxpayers money. The other: contractors connected to politically sensitive projects are receiving massive payouts while taxpayers fund rushed vanity renovations ahead of a televised national celebration. That’s why scrutiny around these projects is growing so fast.

THE WHITE HOUSE “BALLROOM” IS NOW BEING CALLED A MILITARY COMPLEX President Trump is building far more than a ballroom at the White House. What began as a project for hosting VIP guests is now being described by the administration and its lawyers as an integrated military complex beneath the former East Wing. Trump has even posted an AI-generated video of himself giving George Washington a tour of the new ballroom, while calling Americans who oppose the project “very disloyal” to the country. But the public is only now learning the project’s full scale and purpose through court filings. Reports show the White House awarded Clark Construction a no-bid contract worth up to $500 million, bypassing the competitive process designed to protect taxpayers. The estimated price has surged from roughly $200 million to nearly $600 million, with hundreds of millions in public funds reportedly on the line. No congressional authorization. A historic wing demolished. A ballooning price tag. And now an underground military facility tied to a project originally sold as a ballroom. Sam Husseini (Sam Husseini) joins me to break down what is actually being built beneath the White House, and why the public was kept in the dark.

BREAKING: The Trump administration awarded a $1.7 million no-bid contract for work on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to a company tied to a longtime Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago neighbor who previously pleaded guilty in a congressional bribery case. Now the pool is dealing with green water, algae problems, and growing scrutiny over how the contracts were awarded.

🇺🇸 TRUMP GREENLIGHTS $200M WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM PROJECT U.S. Karoline Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt: "We are proud to announce that the construction of the new White House Ballroom will begin soon. For 150 years, presidents, administrations, and White House staff have longed for a large event space on the White House complex that can hold substantially more guests than currently allowed. The project will begin in September 2025 and is expected to be completed long before the end of President Trump’s term. President Trump and other donors have generously committed to donating the funds necessary to build this approximately $200 million structure. The White House Ballroom will be substantially separated from the main building of the White House, while maintaining a theme and architectural heritage almost identical to it."

Sen. John Fetterman and Bill Maher mock the left's outrage over Trump's renovation of the White House ballroom FETTERMAN: This thing won't even be finished by the time he's done!... My race in '22 was spent $330 million. That was the record at that time. That's quaint compared to '24. And watch the cycle this year. Senate seats are gonna be spending much more than just that to build a legacy structure for the White House — and that's only going to be used from presidents that are not gonna be him. MAHER: And $330 million, that is about what a ballroom costs. You can either have a senator or a ballroom. No offense, I'd take the ballroom. A ballroom has a purpose. A lot of the senators you work with do not.

🚨🇺🇸 MAMDANI: “TRUMP SPENDS $300 MILLION ON A BALLROOM WHILE NEW YORKERS STRUGGLE TO EAT” “Trump is threatened by our campaign because we’ve diagnosed the crisis in working class New Yorkers’ lives, the cost of living. But unlike him, we’ll deliver on it. While he spends $300 million remodeling a White House ballroom, enough to fund SNAP for 100,000 New Yorkers, he’s making it harder for Americans to afford groceries. This is money New York City is owed, and we’re going to fight for it.” Source: CNN Clip: Eric Daugherty

🚨TRUMP TURNS NATIONAL MALL REFLECTING POOL BRIGHT BLUE Crews drained the 2,028-foot pool in late April and covered the bottom with swimming-pool blue paint. Trump personally inspected the empty basin on May 7 while criticizing earlier repair plans under Obama and Biden that cost $38 million to $300 million. Supporters say the new look fixes years of leaks and green, murky water near the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. Critics call the color tacky as questions grow over a $6.9 million no-bid contract tied to the project.

MacFarlane: Some national park service workers are so alarmed, they leaked internal spreadsheets that show where the money is going. We added the numbers together and found for the white house grounds for the vanity projects, the beautification and the needed upgrades: They've set aside $323 million for this year… $323 million compared to $7 million for the white house in 2024. That's a 5,000% increase. National mall has a ten fold increase from 2024 for projects that are the president's priority. Doesn't mean the money is directly being starved out of Yosemite, Yellowstone, Mount Zion, Grand Canyon. But we checked those parks all have significantly less funding allotted for them this year than they did two years ago, and there's a $30 billion backlog of deferred maintenance They are going to have to shortchange important projects throughout America to marshal donated money or taxpayer money on things like a reflecting pool, a helipad, a ballroom, and other vanity projects.

REPORT: Trump repeatedly told Americans his massive White House ballroom project was being “fully financed” by private donors, but now taxpayers are suddenly on the hook for a BILLION dollars buried inside a border security package. And critics are now asking: if the ballroom was already paid for with “money left over,” why is the public suddenly funding massive underground and above-ground “security upgrades” tied to the project? The backlash erupted after Senate Republicans quietly slipped $1 billion into legislation connected to the ballroom after months of assurances that private donors had the entire thing covered. ZeeeMediaOfficial says the deeper issue isn’t even the price tag, it’s the growing pattern of politicians publicly selling one story while quietly moving taxpayer money behind closed doors. Millions of Americans working two jobs just to stay afloat are now expected to help fund a project they were never fully informed about, as major details continue surfacing after the fact. The bigger this story gets, the more people are asking why taxpayers were told one thing while lawmakers funded another. Where did the private donor money actually go?

BREAKING: President Trump repeatedly promised the White House ballroom would be paid for with private donations and wouldn't cost taxpayers a dime. Now critics point to reports that $352 million in federal funds originally designated for Secret Service projects was redirected to help finance construction. The issue is who ended up paying for it.

“People can't feed themselves,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said criticizing the Trump administration over plans tied to the new White House ballroom, arguing the money should instead go toward helping Americans struggling with housing, groceries and healthcare costs. President Trump has repeatedly said the ballroom is being funded through donations, not taxpayer dollars. But a controversial proposal backed by some Senate Republicans seeks $1 billion to the Secret Service for "security adjustments and upgrades," including to support enhancements related to the 90,000-square-foot "East Wing Modernization Project."

What's the total cost of President Donald Trump’s construction and renovation projects in Washington, D.C.? It's hard to pin down. But investigative reporter David Fahrenthold and a team at The New York Times has estimated a price tag of at least $1 billion, not including more than half a dozen projects where costs are unknown. “What the public can't see is the spending. How much did the administration spend of public money, taxpayer money, on these projects? And what effort did the administration go through to make sure that it was spending the money wisely? That's what they're hiding, and I think they're gonna try to hide that as long as they can," he said. PBS News digital anchor Deema Zein spoke with Fahrenthold about his reporting, including on three of Trump's projects: renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, construction and fountain repair in Lafayette Park and the president's proposed "Triumphal Arch," or “Arc de Trump.”

Garcia: While most Americans are focused on the price of groceries, gas, the rent—Donald Trump is obsessed with the reflecting pool which he's turned into a total disaster. He’s ruining national monuments. Everyone has eyes. We can see what is happening. This was a shoddy, horrific job done by a Trump donor in a process that, quite frankly, was not legal. And now Donald Trump is trying to fix it. Well, we're investigating this, the ballroom, the arch, all of these projects. And in this one in particular, those two businesses have a lot of questions that they need to answer. And we're demanding those answers immediately.

United Healthcare Quarter 1 revenue report reveals an extremely concerning trend Their profit was $6.28 billion, which is about the same as last year but with one major difference They made the same profit while having 1.1 million less customers This means they are making far more money per paying customer. This is a very clear indication our healthcare industry is getting significantly worse I found their new business model is to not so much focus on number of customers but maximizing profits on who they have, and that’s horrifying - Higher premiums - Higher deductibles - Denial rates high - Higher medication costs - Higher visit and treatment costs We have to stop this for profit healthcare system

🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP SHUTS DOWN THE FAKE NEWS HYSTERIA on the White House Ballroom: “I’m making a gift to the United States… It’s being done with the military and Secret Service. We’re on time and on budget. I have all the money I need. We’re making it more secure, not for me, because I’ll be gone.” While the corrupt media screams “slush fund” and “taxpayer money,” Trump is personally funding and gifting a major security upgrade to the People’s House. No grift. No waste. No Biden-style $200 million disasters that go nowhere. This is what a selfless, America First President does, improving the White House for future generations at his own expense while the Fake News lies through their teeth. Trump keeps winning. The media keeps crying.

While a hyperventilating Ana Navarro and Tara Setmayer only want to talk about the White House ballroom that President Trump is building on CNN NewsNight, Lydia Moynihan provides a dose of reality: Trump’s new prescription drug program makes around 600 drugs cheaper and more affordable for Americans, adding “Guess what, Trump can do more than one thing at the same time.” Moynihan: “What we haven't discussed at all tonight in the last 24 hours, for instance, is the fact that Trump unveiled a new prescription program, 600 or 600 medications are now generic and cheaper for Americans. He's partnering with Mark Cuban. He's making medication more affordable…I'd like to note with the ballroom, guess what, Trump can do more than one thing at the same time…. This is something that future presidents would be able to have, be able to use and be able to entertain world leaders at.”

Now that the House is back in session, here's three big things you should know about this week: 1️⃣ The Epstein Files: The House and Senate have now passed the bill to release the full unredacted files. It’s time for the Trump administration to act. Epstein's Victims—and the American people—deserve truth and justice. 2️⃣ Redrawn Texas Maps Blocked: A Trump-appointed judge struck down Texas’ illegal new House map, but the process isn't over. Reminder that if you’re confident in your policies and your leaders, you shouldn’t have to rig elections to win. 3️⃣ The “Golden Age” Is Unaffordable: Americans are struggling with housing, groceries, and health care—and Trump’s tariffs and the Big Ugly Bill have only driven up costs. This administration would rather focus on ballrooms and bathrooms.
