    American taxpayers will help fund the project, according to a publicly available spending plan for the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) released by the White House.

    As per the spending plan, the NEH will dedicate $2m (£1.5m) in special funds and $13m in matching funds to the project.

    The American taxpayer will “help” fund the project? Where are the other funds coming from? Seems like the NEH, a federal agency funded by… the taxpayer?

    Or is this going to be Ballroom 2.0, another billionaire bribe monument to oligarchy?
