Are the "ballroom" and the claim against DOJ related?

[Jersey Devil]

The ballroom is supposed to cost in the area of $250-300 million and Trump said he (through his "donors" would pay for it. At the same time he has a claim for $250 million against DOJ. According to how I understand it, we may never know if his claim is approved or even if it has already been approved and paid until spending records are revealed at the end of the year (or even next year). So were these two events planned together so that Trump could say he paid for the ballroom with his own money when the ballroom will actually be funded by taxpayers" and his fundraising is just going into his pockets? Of course, we never will know how much this "fundraising" raises or where it goes either.

What a f***ing bunch of bulllshit!

2. Money given to Trump in a bribe is not a "donation". Goddamnit media.

A donation is something given to charity or a nonprofit organization. When Trump gets money, it’s a damn bribe.

3. Trump wants to be the world's first trillionaire.

This has been stated by Michael Cohen, Trump's long time attorney.

Trump is just raking in as much cash as possible every day.

He will steal from the US taxpayer.

I believe he intends to soak the rich to pay for the ballroom.
Will pocket that cash, then soak the US taxpayer.
Pocket that cash. Stiff the vendors and never pay a dime.
