Trump's ballroom could cost $600 million – half to be tax money
Donald Trump's ballroom and associated bunker could cost $600 million, equivalent to over 5.6 billion kronor, according to an internal assessment seen by the Washington Post.
Over half of the sum will come from tax money.
That's 1.8 billion kronor more than Trump previously claimed the project would cost. Trump has also insisted that no tax money will be used for the ballroom.
Trump painted a pool blue for millions – it turned green
Donald Trump's decision to spray paint the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has backfired. Instead of "flag blue", the pool has turned algae green, reports Politico.
The president spent the equivalent of 122 million kronor to paint the bottom of the monument in a direct procurement that many believe was illegal. Now, an algae bloom has appeared in the water surface.
– The water surface is perfect for algae. If you had wanted to grow algae, this would have been the perfect place. It's warm, it's still, it's perfect, says marine biologist Brooks Barrett.
Now, the US Department of the Interior has paid another contractor the equivalent of 15 million kronor to remove the algae.
