So here's the deal:
trump considers himself the nation.
Without a ballroom, trump is insecure.
trump is insecure.

Trump is insecure nomatter what. Nothing will make him feel secure and content, hence everything can be of national security
it also have to be covered in gold foil or plating.
More like, a matter of securing bribe money for his bank account
It's convenient how you can say anything is a matter of national security and that makes it ok.
Don't forget to add some claims about weapons of mass destruction to help the case.
Well, they did just declare that fentanyl is a WMD.
Just like eroding every possible freedom to ‘protect’ people from terrorists and children from pedophiles. Irony is dead.
What was that conspiracy theory that they're building an underground data center and the ballroom is just a cover?
Starting to sound a little less wacky...
Or was it a Putin-esque apocalypse bunker?
Somewhere he can hide while the masses attempt to physically remove him, before he can call in the military to murder them all?
Wouldn’t be surprised if he nukes everyone.
So yes.
That's one of many things I find batshit insane about the US election process - the fact that there's a months-long period after the votes are counted and a winner declared that the losing president is STILL PRESIDENT and can just do whatever they want FOR NEARLY THREE MONTHS!
Imagine he does run down there after losing the next election. He screams, "you can't make me leave!"
And then they just leave him there, power on, data cords cut, so he can still push the buttons that make the screens blink
With the amount of digging going on in the photo it certainly looks like there's more than a ballroom going in ..
its where he meets with putin for all his meetings.
People theorize that they're installing extensions to the presidential bunker.
It's going to feature a dentist chair and a bunch of weird heads on the walls, isn't it?
I'm fully of the camp that he's building a dungeon underneath it.
I’ve seen better ballroom in a pair of Hanes.

With the amount of listening/recording devices that'll be fitted during construction then I'll have to agree that it will be a national security issue...
But I NEEED it! If you don't give it to me, I'll probably die! Or kill you. National security!
“But it’s a national security issue that we have a demolished building connected to the white house. We need to fix that. It’s not my fault it’s demolished”
Hahaha
Like, a major security hole?
Well most of us might call it a glory hole …..
Fundraising/holding bribery lineups cannot be national security, no matter how he decides in his head. That is only purpose of a ballroom: Holding such events.
