Journalist James Ball has accused Donald Trump of presiding over a string of failing $600 million (£453.52 million) vanity projects in Washington, D.C., claiming in a column published this week that the US president's flagship renovations and foreign policy moves have left him appearing 'foolish and weak' on the global stage.
Ball's critique in The i Paper follows a series of controversies surrounding Trump's second term initiatives, including a proposed overhaul of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and an ambitious White House ballroom project. Both have faced legal, political and financial scrutiny, with questions mounting over cost, oversight and feasibility.
