Looks like all that construction work distraction was to hide all the medical equipment they needed to bring into the White House.

    Makes sense he knows when he technically not allowed a third term. So if he leaves for anything after 2029 he will not be allowed back into the white house. So he going need all the medical shit there with him.

    Of course he too fucking stupid to know being in the White House doesn’t make you president. The new president can do his job from anywhere.

    … So basically he’s just doing the Mr. House thing, and building himself a combo fortress/vitality pod, so that he can just remain President for as long as inhumanly possible.

    He’s building the Emperor’s throne from Warhammer 40k.

    He read/saw enough of the insane QAnon ‘medbed’ memes that he’s trying to actually build one.

    God damnit.

    Hot take: it’s actually a cloning facility, and we will be living under the Trump regime for the next 1000 years once it is completed.

    It’s like a clown painting a big giant bulls-eye hundreds of feet round, in big bright white and red, so that it can be seen from 30,000 feet and placing themselves at the very center of it and challenging everyone around that no one could possibly hit him with anything.

      Then the surprise: The “Military Top Secret Ballroom” will also feature special underground medical facilities for the aging president, Blanche noted.

      “The Project, which includes a state-of-the-art hospital and medical facilities, Top Secret military installations, bomb shelters, structures, and equipment, protective partitioning, and other features—is fully designed to protect the President,” he wrote.

        So here’s the thing: having something like that is probably a good idea. Having a modern one instead of whatever outdated one was already there is probably a good thing.

        Pulling down an entire wing to “build a ballroom” as cover, then revealing the bunker anyway is pure idiocy.

          There must be a reason that they’re hiding that part and they didn’t want anyone to know about it. My guess is that they’re going to try and do the weekend at bernies thing, fr. Parade him in front of reporters every now and then, when he has a good day. The rest of the time, they pump him full of shit that keeps him alive. There’s no way they’re going to let his power and cash grab go away.

          Normal countries don’t have a god-emperor president that needs to be protected at all costs. This is not even about Trump, they did that to all the presidents before.

          I never understood the “prepper” fetish the US has.

          In other countries the president might be your next door neighbour and you have 2-3 policemen around to keep the weirdos off.

            Multiple presidents have been assassinated or attempted to be assassinated. Which put lightly is vexing to the notion of US democracy wherein only the people (not one person) should remove a president. Mix that with hyper -isms (national, patriot) and viola. The secret service legislation was literally on Lincoln’s desk when he was assassinated.

                I mean I’m US educated so idk about assassination attempt rates of prime ministers and presidents of other democracies. The cold war fears were very real and amplified after Kennedy was shot. The wiki on assassination attempts for US presidents is pretty lengthy for the past few…

                  Well Kennedy was an Irish Catholic, so I’m pretty sure Jesus shot him from the grassy knoll.

    These people parody themselves.

    If the corporate news had 1/1000th of a backbone we’d be clowning on these motherfuckers for the rest of time.

    But, they don’t. So. Here we are.
