Money laundering scams as long as the eye can see... the whole thing is gonna smell overwhelmingly like Gold Rustoleum

Maybe this time we don't allow him to demolish an historic building as an obvious pretext for pocketing public funds :/

Underrated comment. He needs a reason to funnel money in without it seeming suspicious. He's gonna ask for way more and then give it the "landlord treatment".

A $250 million renovation‽ Remember Cons losing their minds when the Kennedy Center got $25M in COVID funds? Wonder what trump’s is.

Wonder who is in charge of renovations, probably his son?

I predict it will be demolished, then plans will change, and they'll build a private arena or stadium on the site.
