Dumb dumb: the ballroom is under budget!
Citizens: the 200 million ballroom that is now 400 million? That ballroom is under budget? Under the doubled budget expected?
Hey look at that. That one dude that posted the stuff here 6 months ago or so about the designs and plans and mentioned how all of the donors were related to people that are doing underground data centers and stuff like that for Israel are the same group that are working on this with none of the other people that should be involved with ballrooms like Tiffany and stuff like that being associated.
It's also important to note that someone else wanted that to happen and trump personally really wants a ballroom that's bigger and gaudier than obamas.
If there is two things trump is a expert on its stupid and lawsuit. Its just one thing with him though.
Omfg, he's so fking dumb. Idiocracy!
Probably would've scurried into it when he loses the 2028 run
Good. We can seal the doors, cut the power, and leave him and his cronies to rot in there forever.
Quickly Mr. President, help me bring the guests to your fancy ballroom a cask of amontillado we keep in the secret bunker.
He would totally bite. There’s no way he’s familiar with that story
He definitely hasn't ever read a book for pleasure. Maybe just never read a book.
I saw this movie, it was called Civil War and was one of the most genuinely anxiety fueling films Ive seen in recent years.
It's scheduled to be completed months before the election, but the part he cares about is underground.
The thing is, even if there's absolutely zero way to get inside, it doesn't mean shit if no one outside the bunker listens to him.
It would be the perfect ending to this if he really goes down into a bunker with his closest circle who have the supplies to live decades...
And after waiting a while we just seal the doors.
It would 100% be worse than prison for everyone sealed in there. Just leave them to die together in a hole.
But the ironic part is there was already a bunker there, and it's likely now compromised.
So if the new one doesn't get finished, there won't be any bunker under his direct control.
He wanted to build his own, so that no one else knew how to open it. Like, if he went to one of the still secret bunkers like under Biltmore, people that are outside know how to get him out.
I mean that's really not what it was for. It was more along the lines of an underground data center but the command center for the president that was upgraded and updated similar to the ones that have been built in Israel over the last few years that gives them a place to hide and everything. It's not really a bunker related to Trump himself going underground he just wanted to be the one to build it and the one that it got he got remembered for.

...
I mean, he'd use the bunker anyways, just like he uses every other part of office for his personal benefit.
But if you think any president wouldn't go in that bunker if need be, or it's not prepared for that contingency....
Well, that's just fucking wild to me.
My point is he's not going to go lock himself down there and refuse to come out when his presidency is over. That's just kind of ridiculous. This fucker is going to be dead before then or shortly after that.
That’s just kind of ridiculous
Less so then living up to this point in American history and thinking that's ridiculous...
But I'm not gonna keep trying to explain shit when you reflexively downvote.
You want an argument, I wanted to help you understand something.
Now we're both disappointed.
I absolutely would have known nothing about the military complex but for Trump opening his big mouth about it repeatedly.
Knowledgeable people are aware that any construction at the White House also involves fortifications and bunkers.
Pfff. He would have posted pics of it himself eventually.
America chose fascism. And you're surprised when fascists act like fascists?
America is fascism, just ask the indigenous people deprived of their land and life, the piles of dead buffalo slaughtered as part of accomplishing the American genocide, and the dead slaves. This isn't America acting like Nazis, Nazis acted like Americans - Hitler was directly inspired by how we treated migrants at the southern border.
But yeah, while we're on the topic anyway...
The Vorbunker (upper bunker or forward bunker) was an underground concrete structure originally intended to be a temporary air-raid shelter for Adolf Hitler and his guards and servants. It was located behind the large reception hall that was added onto the old Reich Chancellery, in Berlin, Germany, in 1936.
(Note that quote says "located behind", which makes it sound above-ground, but it was an underground bunker).
Fascism was never defeated, instead the US spread it around until the whole world became fascist.
Nuremberg was a whole job fair for the West
The cost keeps increasing. That's hilarious.
But of course he was building a bunker. There's literally no surprises there. It'll be the new den of rape for sure.
This won't be finished in time for him to use it so I guess someone else is pushing for the bunker and they decided to put a ballroom on top to get his approval.
That's what concerns me. There's a whole ring of supermasters we're not in the know. It wouldn't surprise me if Bibi is just another front.
Or perhaps the contractors involved are giving him or his associates kickbacks from a construction scam, so, it doesn’t need to be finished ever for him to benefit.
I think Trump is actually excited about the ballroom which makes it even sadder that some people are using it to control him like a baby.
Oh, that's definitely happening, regardless of anything else. I bet you Washington has started including necessary corruption in cost analysis the same way Banana Republics do.
I bet they don't even pour the foundation while he still president/alive.
When the bombs start flying, lock him outside. Ignore him as he pounds on the door, then runs around the building, banging on the windows, trying to make eye contact with those inside.
"Will someone draw the curtains, please?"
So he is building his own Fuhrer bunker.
It's more like a Führer rape dungeon, knowing the Epstein files.
I honestly thought there was already a bunker under the WH. Too many movies I guess.
There was a bunker, it was under the East Wing...
After the U.S. entered World War II, Roosevelt, seeing the need to house additional staff and offices to reflect the growing complexity of the federal government at the time, oversaw the addition of the East Wing in 1942, according to the White House.
The two-story structure was built atop the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, or PEOC, a secure bunker that was built by FDR to serve as a secure meeting place in the event of an emergency.
“While the exact specification of this underground presidential bunker is classified,” according to the White House, “it was originally built to withstand a direct nuclear hit. Access to the PEOC is by an elevator located behind multiple vault-type doors with biometric access control systems.”
He almost certainly got just far enough to compromise the security of the existing bunker, and now won't be able to build the new one in time.
It explains why he's so fucking obsessed with the ballroom
That's for war, this one is for child rape.
There absolutely is along with some of the best medical facilities in the world and more food and weapons than anywhere else nearby, they just tend to put POTUS on AF1 to stay mobile during duress but that place is a fortress on top of a bunker fortress.
