Insiders Blow Up Trump’s New Ballroom Excuse
The Daily Beast • • general
Key Points:
- President Trump is attempting to fast-track construction of a vanity ballroom at the White House, framing it as a critical national security project with features like a bomb shelter and drone port.
- Three former officials revealed that a highly secure underground nuclear bunker, built during the Obama administration and capable of sheltering the president and aides for weeks, already exists beneath the White House.
- The existence of this modern bunker challenges the Trump administration’s legal argument that the new ballroom’s construction is essential for national security.
- Trump’s legal team argued to the Supreme Court that delays in completing the ballroom threaten his safety due to various threats, including a suspected Iranian plot against Air Force One.
- The ballroom project is reportedly 65% complete and constructed with nuclear power plant-grade materials, making it nearly impossible to dismantle, according to court filings.
