So now we know why Trump is desperate for his underground bunker. [View all]

Putin is alleged to be hiding in an underground bunker to protect himself from assassination. Trump probably wants, not just the protection of the underground bunker, but also a command center set up so he can continue to govern.

Look, they have been preparing for this moment for decades. It looks surreal to us, but they really planned to throw this country into a scorched earth scenario.
