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?
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?"
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.
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.
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.
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.
It's not a bunker, it's a data center. Just a hardened one.
So dumb. Just so. dumb.
I honestly thought there was already a bunker under the WH. Too many movies I guess.
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.
Don't forget the unsigned presidential pardons. The Payday gang hasn't hit them yet.
We figured this out months ago, but the media didn't report it at all. It was never about the ballroom, always the bunker underneath.
Fuck the new billionairre media.
Have you seen how enthusiastic Trump is when talking about the design of the ballroom? Trump loves real estate more than anything. So I think it is all about the ballroom.
Building a bunker at the White House is probably the most useful and appropriate allocations of funds Trump has done.
It’s a low bar, as they say.
Why is it useful?
The White House is undoubtedly a high value target for US adversaries so having a fortified space in the event of an imminent attack is not useless.
So he is building his own Fuhrer bunker.
It's more like a Führer rape dungeon, knowing the Epstein files.
He really wants the chance to do the funniest thing ever.
Ah, so the headline is worded wrong.
He's not seething, he's führerious!
And we all know what he did last in his bunker
Enter the access tunnel that went to a submarine that he used to get to Argentina where he died of old age /s
Made his best artwork ever!
I mean just consider the dedication needed to make a pièce de résistance right as the Red Army is almost at the doors, using nothing but the raw concrete walls of the Führerbunker as canvas, his trusty Walther PPK as brush, and his own grey matter as paint... I'd dare say it's the most consequential piece of art of the 20th and maybe even the 21st century. It's a shame it was destroyed.
This was the figured out a while ago.

God is Dead. USA is a rotting corpse.
Regular people should be taking advantage of the worlds disorder right now. Reclaim humanity.
Billionaires and their companies...
If only Iran would start going after the companies supporting data centers and the tech bro dependencies.
Why is it Iran that must deal with that shit?
Sure sounds like someone who is making plans to stay in office past this term.
He go in bunker, we weld shut from the outside. Everybody win!
After big tech hurled money at him we should have all automatically assumed there's an underground datacenter in the works there.
I guess I still don't get why a datacenter would make any sense to put there?
And the major power upgrades the city is doing, architect change, sponsors, military consultants, footprint, etc...
Is anyone surprised? I mean, did you guys think it was really a $300 million dollar ballroom?
Is anyone surprised?
Yeah, kinda. I assumed it was a $90 million ballroom with the remaining $210 million being funneled to cronies.
I thought he was pocketing it
I'm pretty sure he was bragging about the bunker months ago, while on the shitter on Air Farce One with the door open
