So, Trump wants to spend:
$1.5 TRILLION on the Pentagon’s budget
$1.2 TRILLION on his ‘Golden Dome’
$70 BILLION more on ICE and border patrol chaos
$1 BILLION on his ballroom
But he can’t find any money to help families afford health care, child care, or housing?

🚨Senate Democrats forced Republicans to strip the $1 BILLION for Trump’s ballroom from their ICE/Border Patrol funding bill. While we expect Republicans to appease Trump and redraft, Democrats will fight any new provision. Taxpayers shouldn’t fund Trump’s gold-plated ballroom.
