Various news sources are now reporting that there are plans to build a military complex underneath the East Wing Ballroom that President Trump is constructing. That makes sense. Unfortunately the world does not seem to be getting safer for anyone. A bunker in the White House to be used in time of emergency is a good idea.<\/p>\n
On Monday, The Daily Voice<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n Trump confirmed late Sunday night, March 29, that the US military is constructing a “massive” underground complex directly beneath the $400 million ballroom currently being built at the White House.<\/strong><\/p>\n Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, the president described the gleaming new ballroom, which will span 90,000 square feet and accommodate up to 1,000 guests, as little more than a “shed” for the secret facility below.<\/strong><\/p>\n “Now, the military is building a big complex under the ballroom, which has come out recently because of a stupid lawsuit that was filed,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One.<\/strong><\/p>\n …The East Wing was torn down in October 2025, a move that drew immediate backlash from historic preservationists.<\/strong><\/p>\n The project came to light not through a White House announcement, but through a lawsuit filed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, according to The Daily Beast<\/a>. Preservationists argue the administration bypassed mandatory reviews and public input before bulldozing the historic wing.<\/strong><\/p>\n The article concludes:<\/p>\n Funding for the project reportedly comes from private “patriot donors” and personal contributions \u2014 not taxpayer dollars.<\/strong><\/p>\n The project is currently ahead of schedule. A final approval vote from the National Capital Planning Commission is expected on Thursday, April 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a good idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Various news sources are now reporting that there are plans to build a military complex underneath the East Wing Ballroom that President Trump is constructing.
