$200 million gold-plated ballroom
Leavitt: We are proud to announce that the construction of the new white house ballroom will begin. From 150 years presidents, administrations, and white house staff have longed for a large event space on the white house complex that can hold substantially more guests

Well, I'm thinking the "ball" room must be the size of a pack of cigarettes.
$200 million seems a bit much for a room that small, but that's just my opinion.
Your mileage may vary of course.

Samsung and LG account for "around 40 percent of the home appliance market in the US", all by themselves. There are other South Korean manufacturers that export consumer appliances to the United States, so the percentage of US consumer appliances that come from South Korea is likely to be considerably greater than 40%.
If we were using MAGA math, South Korea would account for "1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 700, 600" percent of US imports.

They are all insane.
Lutnick: "Japan gave us $550 billion, South Korea gave us $350 billion. That's $900 billion into a national security and economic fund managed by Donald Trump ... you ain't seen nothing like drill baby drill when you give $900 billion to Donald Trump. Now that is gonna be drill baby drill."

Howard Lutnick on Mamdani: "The people of New York have to get up off their couch and vote ... fortunately, you have Donald Trump in the White House where he's not gonna give this guy any money ... these people in New York have better get off their butts and make sure this communist doesn't run NYC."

I was going to make a joke referencing the AC/DC song, but it's specifically about "big balls".

I seriously doubt he could pronounce that.

That amount of money should definitely show up in official government accounting records. Which should be easy enough to provide to oversight.
Unless...
Trump has pocketed it personally and it is now in a Dubai bank account, or...
It doesn't exist, and Nutlick and Trump are desperate liars.

Mistral, mistral wind...
Even if you take at face value that "[t]he president has now ended" all those conflicts personally, it's pretty telling that the whole point of her little speech sems to be not that that's a good thing for a President to be doing, but that this one should get the cookie he's always lusted after for doing it. Even stopping war is a battle that he must be seen to have won- everything truly is a transaction with a winner and loser by it.

Interesting use of the word "gave".
