    No idea, but their family is obsessed with ballrooms. Meanwhile, his family is building a ballroom at Trump International Golf Club in Doonbeg, Ireland. Eric Trump said it would be "the nicest ballroom in the country." :p

    It's Ireland, so it's not that hard.
    Although I have had a stay at Adare Castle and there is a BBB. A big beautiful ballroom.

    Why does Trump always have to lie?

    He said in his State of the Union speech that that his administration's policies were "rapidly ending" high prices for certain foods, like beef and chicken.

    What a lie!

    Beef prices are "still up substantially" over the past year, said Michael Swanson, chief agricultural economist at the Wells Fargo Agri-Food Institute.

    Ground beef cost $6.75 per pound, on average, in January — the highest level on record, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Prices have increased 22% over the past year. from $5.55 per pound in January 2025. That's the fastest annual inflation rate since June 2020, during Trump's first term in office.

    The price of uncooked beef steaks was $12.30 per pound, on average, in January, up 13% over the past year. Uncooked beef roasts cost $8.82 per pound, on average, in January, up 14% in the past year.

    He also said that the cost of chicken is "lower today than when I took office by a lot."

    Another lie!

    The average prices for chicken are up about 1% over the past year.

    Beef tenderloin was on sale at market last week.
    Marked down from 29.99 a pound
    To 24.99 a pound.

    So that's something.
