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 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.

I think we'd be willing to give him McDonalds for the rest of his life and even have people pretend he's still president if he stays in that bunker.

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.

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.

redwattlebird@thelemmy.club · 41 pts · 144d

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.

ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net · 30 pts · 144d (5 replies)

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.

megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 10 pts · 143d (2 replies)

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.

Small_Quasar@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 143d

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 think Trump is actually excited about the ballroom which makes it even sadder that some people are using it to control him like a baby.

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.

There was a bunker, it was under the East Wing...

After the U.S. entered World War II, Roosevelt, seeing the need to house additional staff and offices to reflect the growing complexity of the federal government at the time, oversaw the addition of the East Wing in 1942, according to the White House.

The two-story structure was built atop the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, or PEOC, a secure bunker that was built by FDR to serve as a secure meeting place in the event of an emergency.

“While the exact specification of this underground presidential bunker is classified,” according to the White House, “it was originally built to withstand a direct nuclear hit. Access to the PEOC is by an elevator located behind multiple vault-type doors with biometric access control systems.”

https://www.militarytimes.com/veterans/military-history/2025/10/21/the-wwii-origins-of-the-now-demolished-east-wing-of-the-white-house/

He almost certainly got just far enough to compromise the security of the existing bunker, and now won't be able to build the new one in time.

It explains why he's so fucking obsessed with the ballroom

QueenMidna@lemmy.ca · 23 pts · 144d (3 replies)

It's not a bunker, it's a data center. Just a hardened one.

I can understand wanting to build a hardened datacentre. But why choose to put it under the white house.

QueenMidna@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 143d

It's already a SCIF, and has direct fiber links to multiple government systems.

They just want to put LLMs on top of that and sell access to the Epstein class.

ThePantser@sh.itjust.works · 17 pts · 144d (1 reply)

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.

plyth@feddit.org · 2 pts · 144d

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.

givesomefucks@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 143d (5 replies)

It's scheduled to be completed months before the election, but the part he cares about is underground.

The thing is, even if there's absolutely zero way to get inside, it doesn't mean shit if no one outside the bunker listens to him.

It would be the perfect ending to this if he really goes down into a bunker with his closest circle who have the supplies to live decades...

And after waiting a while we just seal the doors.

It would 100% be worse than prison for everyone sealed in there. Just leave them to die together in a hole.

But the ironic part is there was already a bunker there, and it's likely now compromised.

So if the new one doesn't get finished, there won't be any bunker under his direct control.

He wanted to build his own, so that no one else knew how to open it. Like, if he went to one of the still secret bunkers like under Biltmore, people that are outside know how to get him out.

I mean that's really not what it was for. It was more along the lines of an underground data center but the command center for the president that was upgraded and updated similar to the ones that have been built in Israel over the last few years that gives them a place to hide and everything. It's not really a bunker related to Trump himself going underground he just wanted to be the one to build it and the one that it got he got remembered for.

...

I mean, he'd use the bunker anyways, just like he uses every other part of office for his personal benefit.

But if you think any president wouldn't go in that bunker if need be, or it's not prepared for that contingency....

Well, that's just fucking wild to me.

titanicx@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 143d (1 reply)

My point is he's not going to go lock himself down there and refuse to come out when his presidency is over. That's just kind of ridiculous. This fucker is going to be dead before then or shortly after that.

America chose fascism. And you're surprised when fascists act like fascists?

7101334@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 143d (2 replies)

America is fascism, just ask the indigenous people deprived of their land and life, the piles of dead buffalo slaughtered as part of accomplishing the American genocide, and the dead slaves. This isn't America acting like Nazis, Nazis acted like Americans - Hitler was directly inspired by how we treated migrants at the southern border.

But yeah, while we're on the topic anyway...

The Vorbunker (upper bunker or forward bunker) was an underground concrete structure originally intended to be a temporary air-raid shelter for Adolf Hitler and his guards and servants. It was located behind the large reception hall that was added onto the old Reich Chancellery, in Berlin, Germany, in 1936.

(Note that quote says "located behind", which makes it sound above-ground, but it was an underground bunker).

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.
