The Trump administration is arguing in court that halting a $400m White House ballroom and bunker overhaul would endanger national security, setting up a sharp clash with preservationists and a federal judge.
It’s kind of difficult to tell what is really going on with the ballroom. It could very well be that the government has planned an upgrade for years and Trumps ball room is the perfect cover, so he may or may not be “playing along”.
If that were the case, they wouldn’t have just gone ahead and started bulldozing willy nilly. They could have at least said it was for security reinforcements on the White House “and we may as well build a ballroom at the same time.”
I’m sure it was the opposite. Trump wanted a ballroom, and they figured while the White House is half blown up, they may as well build a bunker.
While it’s tempting to believe there has to be a plan, a strategy, someone must have thought this out, history of this administration proves otherwise. Over and over
That is a possibility. Maybe it was something they had wanted to do, but it was a project mired in red tape and complexity? Like maybe they had planned to try to do it without demolishing the East Wing, trying to do it in place? Then Trump’s like “fuck it, we’ll do it live” and just orders the whole thing demolished to make it cheaper? IDK.

seeing these naive theories that scream “all I know came from TV”, explains why we are now in the stupidest timeline
