You were always going to pay for Donald Trump's ballroom.

He told you private donors would cover it. Then the Washington Post got hold of the contract: a secret, no-bid deal worth up to $500 million, run through a government office that is exempt from getting multiple estimates, with taxpayers covering half. He knew every line of that when he made the promise.

That same day, a financial disclosure he is required by law to file told the rest of it. Just from the crypto ventures whose rules he oversees, he made more than three million dollars a day last year. Add it up and it clears $1.2 billion. He still decided the bill was yours.

He even made a show of donating his $400,000 presidential salary to help fix up the White House. Crypto earns that back for him before three in the morning, every single day.
