Trump is demolishing the East Wing of the White House to make way for a magnificent ballroom. The president said the $300 million cost will not be borne by taxpayers, but by private donors, including himself. According to the list of donors released by the White House on Thursday, the list includes some of the largest technology companies in the United States, including Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta and Microsoft. Google's YouTube has agreed to pay more than $20 million to the project. The cryptocurrency sector also performed well, with Ripple, Tether America, Coinbase and the Winklevoss brothers (Cameron and Tyler appear on the list separately) all making donations. In addition, defense and telecommunications giants such as Lockheed Martin, Comcast, T-Mobile and Palantir are also on the list. (The Verge)
