Orange Rapin' Grampy has a big sore bum over Kaitlan Collins "pointing out the rising cost" of his ballroom

Trump woke up early Saturday to lash out at CNN host Kaitlan Collins for pointing out the rising cost of his ever-growing new ballroom.

“Caitlin Collin’s of Fake News CNN, always Stupid and Nasty, asked me why the new Ballroom was costing more money than originally thought one year ago,” he began his misspelled rant on Truth Social Saturday morning.

The ballroom was expected to cost $200 million when first announced and is already $100 million over budget—but Trump offered of justifications for the wild expense of his vanity project.

Despite the high cost and ongoing building—for which official plans have not yet been submitted—the president claimed: “It is actually under budget and ahead of schedule, as my jobs always are. It’s just much bigger and more beautiful than originally planned.”

Aliens came to him after seeing the plans and said with tears in all seven of their eyes, “Sir, nothing could have prepared out three billion year old civilization for the magnificent wonder which you are creating. All the quintillions of citizens of the Galactic Empire are in awe of you. If Hari Selden were alive, he would worship at your feet.”

And even if it does, he won't get much time to enjoy it. Hopefully then it is re-demolished at the expense of the asshole donors who funded the original demolition.
