Guest list, obtained by wall street journalRepresentatives from Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft were involved. These top companies have welcomed the President, and just last month, they were represented at a White House dinner for tech leaders.

WSJ before this The report cited court documents.

β€œThe White House has wanted a ballroom for over 150 years and it never happened because they never had a real estate person,” said Trump, who first rose to fame as a new york city The developer, said on Wednesday night.

The ballroom will have a seating capacity of 650, a large increase from the East Room’s current seating capacity of 200. Construction of the ballroom, where the east wing is currently located, began the previous month.

As Trump celebrated his grand construction plans amid the government shutdown, Democrats compared him to Marie-Antoinette, France’s last queen, who became a symbol of selfish luxury as farmers starved.

“The slogan of this administration should be ‘Let them eat cake.’ Rosemary Boeglin, communications director for the Democratic National Committee, said in a statement that Trump has been busy wining and dining with his wealthy friends and wealthy donors while failing to reach a deal to end the government shutdown.

Boeglin added: “Instead of trading cash for access, Trump and his Republican loyalists in Congress should get back to work reopening the government and avoiding a health care crisis that would force millions of Americans to pay even more for health care or lose coverage altogether.”

Claire Finkelstein, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania and faculty director of the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law, spoke to the pressure these A-list companies and individuals feel from the president.

“Every company that gets invited to that dinner that either doesn’t show up or doesn’t pay knows that they are now going to fall out of favor with the Trump administration,” he said. WSJ,

To reopen the government, Democrats are seeking to reverse Medicaid cuts set in Trump’s massive spending bill, which he signed in July, and expand Affordable Care Act subsidies.

Republicans have made baseless claims that Democrats want to give free health care to undocumented immigrants, despite the group not being eligible for federal health care programs except in emergencies.

House Speaker Mike Johnson warned this week“We’re headed toward one of the longest shutdowns in American history” as Republicans and Democrats remain at odds over legislation that could reopen the government.

Meanwhile, at least 700,000 federal workers have been furloughed, and nearly the same number are continuing to work without pay. Bipartisan Policy Center,
