Why would it be a datacenter? We have lots of federally controlled datacenters. And data can be transferred at the speed of light, even if they want a direct line from the white house to a dedicated datacenter it’d probably be built in northern Virginia
It’s not a datacenter underneath, it’s a luxury bunker. Trump alludes to it all the time when he talks about “the ballroom”. He always speaks of the ballroom as a matter of safety
And this has to be at the White House specifically because location determines oversight. When infrastructure is part of the Executive Office of the President, when it exists at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, it can be classified under executive privilege. The East Wing sits directly above the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, the bunker where Dick Cheney sheltered during September 11th. By demolishing the entire East Wing, you create space to expand that existing secure facility, integrate new infrastructure, go deeper underground. All protected by the classification that covers anything related to presidential security.
