It would be hilarious if it wasn’t wasting 14.2 million dollars on a no bid contract that we all knew was going to fail since it was, just like everything Trump, surface level.

    Of course, it’s the classic real estate developer kick back scheme. He gives the contract to his special Pool Guy, who totally understands that he does the job with half the budget, and kicks back the rest to Trump. Then they split the overruns, too.

    This kind of deal is Trump’s bread & butter, he’s been doing it his entire life, with absolutely no consequences at all. That’s why he is so obsessed with his building projects. They stopped his Kennedy Center renovation, but you still have the Ballroom, and the Arc de Trump, which I love to say because it is so RETARDED (sorry about that, but sometimes an extreme word is 100% appropriate).

        They already are. People think it’s a joke, but that is LITERALLY Trump’s name for it. Of course it is, it isn’t classy unless it has his name on it, and giving it a French name makes it even more classy, because it’s French.
