Trump's Motorcade Reportedly Stops At a 'Random' FL Strip Mall So He Could Buy Marble For His Ballroom Project [View all]

Source: Mediaite

President Donald Trump reportedly ordered his motorcade to stop at a Florida strip mall Friday morning so he could purchase supplies for his $400 million White House ballroom.

White House pool reports said the presidential motorcade “arrived at a shopping center in Lake Worth, Florida at 9:46 AM” so Trump could go “shopping at Arc Stone & Tile,” an importer of Italian marble.

When pressed, a White House official said that the president “is purchasing lake and onyx, at his own expense, for the White House ballroom.”

Although he may pay for the materials himself, conservative publication The New Republic pointed out that the president was shopping for his construction project “on the taxpayer’s dime.”
