July 17, 2018 at 8:03 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
President Trump has repeatedly boasted that he would save US taxpayers a bundle by negotiating a $250,000 price tag for a new embassy in Jerusalem. Turns out the final cost, just for a temporary facility, is almost 100 times more, Al Monitor reports.
Documents uploaded this week to the official database of federal spending show that Maryland-based joint venture Desbuild Limak D&K has been awarded a $21.2 million award to design and build addition and compound security upgrades to the embassy in Jerusalems Arnona neighborhood. Thats in addition to the $335,000 spent to get the facility, formerly a US consulate, ready for its ritzy grand opening as an embassy back in May.

You can't even buy a 10-year-old 3 bedroom condo in NJ for $250K, unless it's in a shabby area.
