So now it's the Military's fault for destroying a third of the white house and building a ballroomPresident Trump says theres a national security component to the construction of the White House ballroom that was supposed to be secret.
Now its no secret, the military wanted it more than anybody, Trump said of the construction of the ballroom Thursday during a Cabinet meeting at the White House.
It was supposed to be secret, but it became unsecret because of people that are really unpatriotic saying things, he said.
But doesnt matter, its going to be great, the president added.
Trump ordered the East Wing of the White House to be demolished last year in order to construct a $400 million ballroom.

(174 posts)She makes pretty coherent case that the contractors and architects finally hired have expertise to build cybersecurity facilities, AI powered data centers for military, and hardened facilities and such. Also many corporate donors may be supplying work in kind in place of cash. According to this model, the ballroom looks secondary like a cover that perhaps attracted Trump to be on board
Sorry I couldn't figure how to put a link here.

Or did all of that come later to justify the destruction of an ICONIC, historic edifice because of a no-account grifter's whim for gaudy opulence?

(18,495 posts)..... be bugged with video and listening devises wired directly to Moscow. So when/if a Dem admin ever steps foot in the White House again - and highly secret diplomatic discussions and/or war plans are being considered - Putin knows first hand what America's various plans are being kicked around and planned out before officially enacted.
If Dems now become habitually and badly out foxed by America's adversaries because the trDUMP bunker was bugged and then broadcasted to our enemies.
The GOP will use that as a weapon saying Dems are ineffectual leaders that should never be given the keys to the White House or the US Congress leadership slots ever again.
The Russians, Chinese, and other USA adversaries are always miles ahead infront of the Dems.
Because trDUMP had sophisicated surveillance and espionage systems built right in the walls, ceiling, and chandeliers.
Testing One, testing two,... Putin can you hear us ?
