Don't hold your breath.

Surprise, surprise – Trump is using $300 million of your tax dollars to finance the ballroom he swore wouldn’t cost you a dime.

Ring, Amazon's doorbell camera company, says its tech just makes neighborhoods safer. Critics contend that it’s the largest privately owned surveillance dragnet in US history, with significant potential for abuse.

JD Vance has criticized The View for years claiming it’s an out of touch liberal media show with political hacks. But that doesn’t stop him from crawling up on their stage to beg The View’s audience to buy his book.

TOMORROW ON GMA: Robin Roberts travels to Chicago for an exclusive sit-down with former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama — their first joint television interview in 10 years.

The President promised the American people that his fancy new ballroom wasn’t going to be built with taxpayer dollars. Another promise he didn't keep. We've just learned that half of it is paid for by your money.

Neither Michelle Obama nor her husband are in the Epstein Files.

Oct 2025: Trump — “100 percent by me and some friends of mine.” Dec 2025: Trump — “We’re donating a building that’s approximately $400 million” March 2026: Trump — “This is taxpayer-free. We have no taxpayer putting up 10 cents” May 2026: Trump — “All of this is paid for by myself…We are making a gift. This is a gift. This is not going to be paid for by the taxpayer.” Today: Over $300M from tax-paying families

So the ballroom is a fiasco, the reflecting pool is a fiasco, the Iran war is a fiasco—the Trump administration is a fiasco. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
