Senator Blumenthal contends that President Trump’s infrastructure projects, such as the remodeling of the Lincoln bedroom and the reflecting pool, are vanity projects that waste millions of taxpayer d

“Of course, he didn't tell us how much the renovation was going to cost, but estimates suggest that it has put burdens on taxpayers of about $1.6 million. And that was just the beginning.”
