There is a large bunker being built beneath it and with a totally deranged lunatic in the White House I am afraid that his plans are to make it bomb proof so he could hide out there while he launches nuclear weapons.
As we all know he threatened as much on Iran
Now the adiministration claims that the ballroom must be built to protect the pedophile in chief.

I hope someone is keeping an eye on what is being built below ground.

The next (Dem) administration might have to demolish and gut the entire ballroom-bunker facility for the sake of national security.

(49,398 posts)leaving the site wide open for months and months is an, ummm, interesting approach to security.

We lived right nearby "The Blue Cube" in Sunnyvale

Clearances? Everyone knew on the sly.
Functions were later transitioned elsewhere.
We had no worries about living in a post-nuclear war scenario.
We'd have been instantly vaporized.
By divulging the details, he guarantees the complete vaporization of Washington D.C. in case of a nuclear attack.
along with his worthless self.

But Bunker Boy will be OK.

Too bad he can't read.
and Trump's silhouette looks a lot like Alfred Hitchcock.
Sorry for Alfred.

We won't need Vogons to destroy the planet.

We'll do it ourselves, with a little help from our fiends.

(378 posts)Remember first term during BLM how they rushed him to the bunker because he was afraid of the protesters who were largely peaceful? Of course bunkers have a way of humbling Adolph found that out.

(614 posts)So, is he not safe right now walking around at UFC fights and shit?
It would not surprise me one bit if this was so he could try and rule by fiat after Dems win the mid terms and want to impeach and remove him. He goes into the bunker and declares martial law and no one can get to him to drag him down the street

3. Or a little of both.

(11,281 posts)The bunker everyone in the WH was rushed to as soon as everything happened is the already extant bunker, under the (now destroyed)East Wing.
The bunker is not a new idea.
MLWR
(1,053 posts)Or maybe he doesn't think we'd lay seige to the place and not let him get any food, water or medical attention if he decides to go there if a Democrat wins in 2028 and refuse to leave. He isn't the brightest bulb...

(7,112 posts)a bomb proof bunker under the east wing. I really think he just wanted a tacky, over the top, tasteless, gold gilded ballroom .
Just like he wants that ridiculous arc de triumph
Abnredleg
(1,264 posts)So it makes sense to build a new one in conjunction with constructing the ball room. To be clear, the East Wing should never have been demolished, and hopefully whatever is eventually constructed is far less grandiose, but I dont have any problems if they build a larger and more modern situation room for future administrations since theyre going to have to do major construction anyway.
