      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.

    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.

    I’m pretty sure he was bragging about the bunker months ago, while on the shitter on Air Farce One with the door open

    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.

        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.

        I was hoping he’d skip this part and go to the final one directly, but it is a step in the right direction.

      Stargate data center. Oracle hardware running Grok to spy on everyone. The White house already has an underground bunker of that sort.

      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.

        I think he deadass plans on holing himself up in a secret bunker and getting McDonald’s delivered every night. I bet his cover story would be something like a secret daily ritual and it wouldn’t even occur to him that the new president might keep in friendly enough contact with previous presidents to compare notes.

    After big tech hurled money at him we should have all automatically assumed there’s an underground datacenter in the works there.

    Is anyone surprised? I mean, did you guys think it was really a $300 million dollar ballroom?

    At least we can hope the nukes won’t fly until the bunker is done so we have at least 3-4 years to change something.

      China already has a light-out factory for air-to-air missiles that have taken down an Indian plane from France. Do the US have 4 more years? Tusk warned about a big war from 2027 onwards. Iran can be the warm-up and things can get hot much earlier.

    Under the East Wing was where the Situation Room was already, so maybe they are just upgrading it at the same time as building a ballroom. They didn’t follow a normal procurement process at all. He’s been talking about a ballroom since 2010. It was always ballroom first.
