Gemini’s Winklevoss twins and the crypto firms Coinbase, Ripple, and Tether are among those bankrolling Trump’s $300 million ballroom project. This only adds to the millions they’ve already poured into Trump super PACs, his inauguration fund, and other pet projects like the June military parade
In elections and political influence Tens of millions of Americans are days away from losing lifesaving food, childcare, and utility support,30 and many are weighing the risk of going without health insurance next year as their premiums double (or more).31 In the middle of it, Trump has begun demolishing the East Wing of the White House to build a gold‑plated ballroom bankrolled by crypto industry and other benefactors — symbolism so blunt no novelist could get away with it. Heavy machinery dismantles the East Wing of the White House in October (CC BY-SA 4.0, Sizzlipedia) Among those funding the $300 million project are Coinbase, Ripple, Tether, and Gemini’s Winklevoss twins. The size of their contributions to this effort have not been published, but the contributions only add to the millions these groups have already poured into Trump super PACs, his inauguration fund, and other pet projects like the June military parade. Other donors funding the ballroom include tech megafirms like Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Palantir, as well as a motley crew ranging from weapons manufacturers to tobacco companies to sugar barons.32
