Senator Mark Kelly suggests a new name for Trump’s ballroom

“You know how Donald Trump likes to name things? So, Lake America, Gulf of America?” Mark Kelly tells Mark Leibovich. “I've got a name for the ballroom ... Felony Hall.”
“He should be spending his day on solving problems for the American people,” Kelly adds, “not ballrooms, not arches, not his latest crypto scam or getting an airplane from a foreign nation.” #TAF26
