The Trump<\/strong><\/a> administration’s plan to upgrade the White House is costing a whole lot of green … because the president wants to spend over $900 million to update the property … and taxpayers are on the hook for most of the bill.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The Washington Post<\/strong><\/a> revealed the higher-than-expected number in an article published Wednesday, citing records the outlet reviewed.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

The report says the Trump administration pooled funding from federal agencies and private donors — instead of securing money directly from Congress — with the total cost ballooning to at least $927 million.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

The money Trump scrounged together has gone into a fund earmarked for routine maintenance for the White House — which usually only has a couple million dollars in it. However, the Post claims the Trump administration has moved $875 million into the account.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

While Trump’s East Wing ballroom is part of the expenses, it’s not the only construction project that factors into the cost. A helipad, two fountains, and a planned visitor screening facility are also contributing to the eye-popping figure.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Of course, a federal court recently threw a wrench into the Administration’s construction plans … ruling the executive branch can’t sidestep Congress with regard to building the infamous ballroom that’s been the subject of months of drama.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The case — which specifically zeroes in on the ballroom and not all construction projects the White House is working on — is moving on to the Supreme Court … to test who really controls the power of the purse.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Turns out … making the White House great again is expensive as hell!!!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
