    I’m not saying that they’re not building a data center there, but her evidence seems to be that it’s far more expensive than the most expensive federal buildings and that the administration is lying and saying that the ball room is larger than it actually is.

    Two things that describe exactly what we’ve seen Trump do in the past. Trump may overspend on decoration because he has to make everything gold, or because he’s pocketing the extra money. Trump’s felony convictions were related to his lying about the square footage of his properties, in signed contracts, that they were bigger than they actually were.

      It’s conspiracy theory regarding the ball room. I love that so may here love the rigors of proper science, but do try to have some fun with this. It’s a TikTok posted to Substack.

      Substack does a couple things. Journalism, yes. Essays from people like Robert Reich and Heather Cox Richardson, among others. But there is also an incredible amount of conspiracy theory over there as well.
