Explosive leaked records peg President Donald Trump’s planned White House ballroom at $600 million—with taxpayers expected to cover more than half.

The president insisted the costs of his tacky addendum to the White House would not be footed by taxpayers. That wasn’t true.

Just under $300 million was tagged as coming from “private sources,” the newspaper reported Tuesday. Taxpayers remain on the hook for the rest—with $155 million coming through the Secret Service, another $149 million through the White House Military Office, and $3 million through the Executive Residence.
