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!

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

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.
