Trump says 'military wanted' White House ballroom: 'That was supposed to be secret

So now it's the Military's fault for destroying a third of the white house and building a ballroom

President Trump says there’s a national security component to the construction of the White House ballroom that was “supposed to be secret.”

“Now it’s no secret, the military wanted it more than anybody,” Trump said of the construction of the ballroom Thursday during a Cabinet meeting at the White House.

“It was supposed to be secret, but it became unsecret because of people that are really unpatriotic saying things,” he said.

“But doesn’t matter, it’s going to be great,” the president added.

Trump ordered the East Wing of the White House to be demolished last year in order to construct a $400 million ballroom.

1. Right... the 400 million dollar structure that dwarfs the White House was 'supposed to be a secret' bunker.

It was all 'the military's doing.'

5. See, If you don't support his ballroom then you obviously don't support our troops.

And how could you do that when they are sacrificing for us in a time of war?? God, his manipulation is getting obvious to a 10 year old.

I'm sure a few in dress will be stationed at the entrances to see the billionaires in

9. So his new lie is the military wanted it but it's privately funded?

Since when national-security builds are "privately" funding?

If he was not lying again (which he does), either one or the other is not true and doesn't make sense although he is so used to think only his stupid 35% will believe it
