Mapping Trump's BILLION DOLLAR BALLROOM: Six ways those tax dollars could be better spent

Trump Insists His Ballroom’s Ballooning Price Tag Is Totally Fine

Trump claimed the ballroom would be “free of charge.” It could cost taxpayers $1 billion. When it was announced, Trump said that the ballroom would cost $200 million. Then it was $300 million, and then $400 million — but it was still all private money, from donors like Nvidia and Palantir. 

Republicans hope to pass the immigration package, with additional funding for ICE and CBP as well as money for the ballroom, through the reconciliation process, which requires only a simple majority to pass the Senate. - VOX
