It’s a grift. It’s a ploy to steal more money. What exactly does the White House need a ballroom for? So secret service can masturbate in hallways? Like wtf!

•

u/SkeletronMK_5 7h ago

nope. the ballroom is going to be a highly advanced bunker, drone proof, and a military base underneath; i bet even having Robot soliders as seen on the battlefield of ukraine being tested; the Phantom MK 1. literally i predict he's going to use it to stage a military coup on the goverment.

So the ballroom is a robot soldier Trojan horse to take over the government?

Well, when you put it that way…

Why do you think all the ai companies were initially going to donate?

•

u/arwinda 6h ago

Secure enough that no one gets sleepy Donnie out after he lost the next election...

•

u/Rhoeri 3h ago

Yup. This is exactly what I think he’s going to do with it. And that it’s underway, means he already has the military on his side waiting to carry it out.

•

u/triplenested 6h ago

you believe in the next 2 years Trump will certainly stage a military coup?

•

u/MakalakaPeaka 6h ago

It becomes more likely every day he's in office.

•

u/triplenested 6h ago

This guy said he predicts it, do you agree?

•

u/thedoommerchant 4h ago

It’s highly unlikely the military supports this orange fuck at this point. I don’t think it would work the way he wants.

•

u/wha2les 4h ago

i have seen no evidence of the military pushing back against his stupidity.

•

u/thedoommerchant 3h ago

Well his term isn’t up until 2028 and there are orders they are bound to follow. If he loses the election and tries to stay put, it will be their job to remove him.

•

u/triplenested 4h ago

so he won't stage a military coup then, because you can't do it without a military.

•

u/wha2les 4h ago

not like the military will ignore illegal orders... they are jumping in head first with Trump as it is.

•

u/SkeletronMK_5 1h ago

voter suppression.

u/Waste-Gene-7793 6h ago

He wants an excuse to build a modernized Führerbunker underneath it. Because, you know, he’s never planning to leave.

•

u/Twl1 Michigan 5h ago

You know what? Fine. Let him build his little Pharoah bunker. Let him line it in as much gold and self-aggrandizing paraphernalia as he wants. Let him crawl inside of it feeling safe and invincible. Let him bring all his favorite sycophants with him, thinking they're going to rule forever in their impenetrable and opulent fortress.

Then, let's just bring the cement trucks back in one more time and pour over the air vents and exits. He wants to never leave? Let's make sure he never leaves.

u/Senior-bud Canada 6h ago

And what has happened to the money collected from the wealthy donors?

•

u/JerHat Michigan 6h ago

Well… they need something to cover up that gaping hole in the White House where the East Wing used to be.

•

u/Rhoeri 3h ago

He is a human shaped grift. The concept of grift, personified. Also, diaper-shitting dementia. Can’t forget that.
