JUST BECAUSE he's building a "ballroom" with a residence, bomb shelter & medical center doesn't mean he won't leave

Oh.

Wait.

That's exactly what it means.

Please disregard this post.

What would that billion be financing? An underground hospital/bomb shelter/fortress secured with missile-resistant steel and drone-proof roofing materials. It would feature its own communication center and military command apparatus completely independent of the city above.

In other words, if you were a crazy dictator hellbent on sticking around past your expiration date, this would be exactly the kind of place you’d plan. It would have everything but its own Bunkerland McDonald’s, and I’m sure Trump would figure out a way to insert that into the blueprint, too.

The final indignity is that me and you are now the ones being tasked with footing the bill for this outrageous structure seemingly designed to protect an authoritarian and make sure he never has to relinquish power until he’s dead and gone.

Should this outrage continue to move forward, there are at least a billion reasons why Republicans should be forced to wear this around their collective necks like a scarlet “B.”

2. Will Trump's golden mausoleum also include a subterranean family crypt, where he and his descendants can be interred?

Trump wants to turn the White House into a permanent national shrine for himself, where future generations can visit his final resting place and pay homage...with a small admission fee, of course.

3. Nothing in the first paragraph concerns me

If it was about White House security alone, just complete the underground portion.

But Trump would never take that deal because this is a vanity project so he only cares about the above ground portion.

4. Ridiculous

I’m sure he wants to stay… but the White House is already a residence with a bomb shelter and medical center.
