MAGA Corporations and Individuals Paying for White House Demolition

Apple, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Google, Coinbase, Comcast and Meta are just some of the major companies who have made donations to build President Donald Trump’s proposed 90,000-square-foot ballroom, according to the White House.

Trump has repeatedly said that work on the ballroom is privately funded by himself and donors and will cost nothing to taxpayers.

On Wednesday, Trump discussed his plans for the ballroom, saying it will cost “about $300 million,” after he had said that the cost of the ballroom would be $200 million.

Previously, Trump had said that the new construction would not touch the existing structure. But that was also a lie: Right now, the entire East Wing of the White Housis being demolished.

Additional donors include co-founders of cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss; Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and his family; and the Adelson family. Trump awarded Miriam Adelson, a Republican megadonor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018. Notice that the vast majority of donors are of the Jewish persuasion.

Trump gave these very wealthy companies and individuals extremely generous tax breaks. Their donations to the ballroom are therefore tax-deductible re-payments to Trump who can now claim that he's demolishing the White House with private money, not government money.
