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.

    I’d argue that Trump being hit by a missile attack would IMPROVE the USA national security.

      Take it out of his fortune. Triple damages.

      And that’s just for starters. He’s going to pay to rebuild Iran out of his own pocket.

        And compensate the Epstein victims and/or their families (whichever applies).

        Although he can share the bill with other Epstein collaborators and clients on that one. Nationalise their entire estate - or whatever similar procedure would make sense here.

    There was already a bunker under the East Wing. If Trump chose to bulldoze it, that’s his own doing.

      Look, there’s got to be a rational explanation for this. Have you considered the old East Wing bunker might have just been haunted as all fuck? Who knows what horrible atrocities past presidents committed down in that dungeon! Who knows how many hookers Nixon tortured to death down there. How many old captured Nazis did Eisenhower personally flay alive in that basement? How many girls did Clinton simply have disappeared down there? That placed was probably cursed long before Trump got there. The only way to get the bad juju out was to completely tear it down to bare soil. It’s no good as a defense bunker if you get torn apart by ghosts when you try to seek shelter there!

    We could have a referendum on how important it is to taxpayers to protect Trump from missiles. Maybe a simultaneous one for shooting one at him.

    As if we needed any further confirmation that the bunker beneath it was the actually important part of the project.

    (Can we please ensure that the bunker is stocked with at least one Luger pistol? For tradition’s sake.)

      Give them a Nambo instead. They don’t deserve the build quality of Luger.

        The Nambu has a notoriously weak cartridge. With a skull like his he’d be liable to botch it badly and probably wake up with a full diaper and a headache.

        Not sure if that’d be better or worse than the alternative really.

        Also contrary to popular belief they’re generally really well made unless it’s an extremely late one. 8x22 is just really really weak.

        The difference between a bunker and an oubliette is what the people on the outside decide to do with the entrance/exit.

        Just make sure there’s some amontillado inside.
