President Trump took the press pool on a tour of the White House ballroom and defense infrastructure that is being incorporated into the design itself. As noted by President Trump the ballroom will sit atop a sub-surface system of hardened rooms, research facilities and military operations that will form a hub of interconnected executive office government defense operations.
The building is being built to withstand missile and drone attacks, with several floors underground that will serve as a defense system for the President and cabinet members. The ballroom that sits atop the underground network will be paid by President Trump and donors; the government funding is for the military defense complex that will sit underground approximately six stories down. This is a remarkable explanation by President Trump. WATCH:

Cheeseburger in Paradise!
Make mine a fried bologna and onion with whole grain mustard on pumpernickel and a dill pickle. Pair it with a glass of spicy V8.
Here is where I would insert Betsy’s “Southern Stare” picture.
I had a bowl of grits.
Grits with fried egg on top, the BEST!!
Ain’t tried that……but I will!
Make the eggs flapped over and bleeding.
Salt and lots of butter?
Or sugar?
Sugar on grits??!!!
Them’s fightin’ words in the South!
Sugar on cream of wheat, maybe? 🙂
What? No cheese?
President Trump thinks of everything! Reaches out even to those who “people”…
“You catch more flies with honey than vinegar”
Continued BLESSINGS
Our Very Special President is a most gracious host!
I’m a little confused. I thought Trump was a King, a tyrant, a Nazi, and a Fascist. Just to name a few.
Why did he let the peasants have food and why didn’t he poison them given the chance?
It’s almost like none of the things the Press says about him are true.
Trump treats the media better than they deserve.
What was the corkscrew for?
the rino apoplexy about this makes me wonder if the IC has some monitoring infrastructure that will be compromised by construction
Absolutely you know they do! Why else would there be a need for new underground hardened facilities?
Or they aren’t being allowed in to put stuff in as it gets built. Harder to put stuff in after the fact.
Spot. On.
Our President 🙂
Always gracious:)
Love our President!
The awful MSM will decry this as spending unnecessary taxpayer $$.
He could cure the common cold and they would accuse him of putting over the counter cold medicine producers out of business. They have so much hate and TDS that they can’t see straight and make no sense.
Meanwhile billions go to illegal Democrat voters
He could walk on water and the headlines would read, “Trump can’t swim.”
He could cure cancer and the headlines would read, “Trump increases unemployment of doctors.”
Haha – those are pretty good. I’m sure our other Treepers can come up with a few more (kinda like yo’ momma jokes).
I would rather have DJT blow my taxes in a casino than let the government spend it on social engineering woke BS. I’d rather give it to Little Rocket Man. I’d rather flush it down the toilet or buy Hunter Biden some crack and hookers. I’d rather do anything than let a democrat or rino decide how its spent.
No matter how others gripe about it, both of these things were sorely needed. The underground complex dated to FDR’s time. There was no SECURE place to hold diplomatic dinners. And, Trump is paying for the ballroom!
The gripe is only because it’s Trump, and it leaves a massive lasting reminder to everyone that he was there. If any other president took on this task they would be celebrated until the end of days
…while it remained unfinished & $Billions over budget because of insufficient planning & construction methods
until the end of days.
Generosity… is never a character trait or quality in dictators OR tyrants; Trump has generosity in spades.
I listen to some of this morning. I’m glad he is taking this head-on. That said, I thought maybe he gave away too much info.
Ketanny jackson flips out again as supremes tell two states not to use rave in redistricting decisions.

I read the article and as written can not discern all the legal aspects of affirming this and overturning that. Usually my legal comprehension is pretty good ; however The only concrete interpretation I can make is that Jackson is unhappy.
“The only concrete interpretation I can make is that Jackson is unhappy.”
Then likely the right thing is being done.
She was born unhappy.
I’d be unhappy too if I didn’t know what a woman is!
I wonder if she realizes that not being able to define what a woman is will be all she is remembered for. Seriously, no one brings up anything else when her name comes up…
Keep her unhappy. Maybe she will find another Broadway play to perform in and decide that is really her life’s calling. She sure isn’t a very good judge.
Wasnt there just a whole brouhaha yesterday about this concerning the senate parliamentarian denying the use of reconciliation to use taxpayer funds for the ballroom?
Taxpayer funds are for the bunker complex below ground. Private donors for the actual ballroom above ground.
Exactly!
I have seen people on FB bellowing about taxpayer money being spent on the ballroom. This must be what they are referring to.
Defense against who? Might be used against us one day. As far as the ballroom I wont hold my breath waiting on an invite.
Glad to know my grocery money is going to the cause of saving their ars. If you think I have become cynical …you’d be right. Have no choice so my vote will be going to my republican overlords 2026.
not sure you’ve become or just are
Honestly, what a Debbie Downer.
You expect POTUS to wave a magic wand and turn this battleship around without it causing time and effort? But it’s better to just vote for what screwed up this country for the past 50 years because it’s taking too long? Good grief. Get real.
At least there will be something you can point to as real. With Dems, they take your money and there’s Nothing.
Can anyone point to anything real from that Build Back Better bill for trillions ?
Or that other multi-trillion dollar bill they also passed ?
My POS Congressman voted to approve the J6 commission in exchange for $1.6 Billion in highway funding for the district. 5-6 years later I only know of two significant road repavings in the district. Meanwhile we’re still driving on Peanut Brittle everywhere.
Or what about “No Child Left Behind” ?? Public “education” in this country is by and large a disgrace. There are definitely some great teachers out there, but IMHO these are indoctrination centers and I for one am not impressed.
And “Common Cor…uption”
You mean “No school left viable”? There, fixed it for ya.
I have lived with nonstop road construction along my entire commute ever since.
That’s real.
“Glad to know my grocery money …. ” Huh? President Trump has been buying your groceries?? Please explain.
Either you didn’t listen/watch at all, or your comprehension is non-existent.
What a beautiful building, in all ways. Just beautiful.
Speaking of comprehension! What @gulfaddict was saying is the taxes he/she is paying is coming out of the food budget. But you are right that grocery money is sure providing some nice “secure” facilities for our govies. The beautiful part you see (Ball Room) is a gift from President Trump and his wealthy friends. I doubt they will worry much about their grocery bill.
Remarkable explanation by a Remarkable President and Commander-in-Chief! God bless the USA.
So can we quit calling it the “ballroom” then?
The “Ballroom Bunker” ! (As I’m reminded of the “Ballroom Blitz” from the midnight matinee decades ago.)
Jesus and Trump are both builders.
There is a program I really enjoy watching: Maine Cabin Masters. They have the ability to look at a problem and come up with solutions. It is a quality I greatly admire and I believe our President has this quality. He looks at things so differently than any imbedded politician in government who is more interested in checking boxes than in actually solving an issue.
President Trump is so creative in his problem solving ability. I don’t know that I would compare him to Christ, but I appreciate what you are trying to say.
PT’s skillset is remarkable.
he’s used to building in NYC – six stories down is nothing for him.
and i’m thinking that’s not the maximum depth they’re going –
a few truly secret subterranean floors would be my guess.👍🏻😁
Six stories is already subterrainian. I am amazed that anyone can build that low in such a swampy environment as DC. High water table in only some parts of the area?
i’m not a foundation expert 😂 , but i did watch a fascinating documentary
on the building of the Twin Towers in NYC.
the lowest levels of the building were actually BELOW the East River,
and they detailed the various methods employed to keep the river from flooding the site
during and after construction.
Chicago is basically built on a peat bog, and they solved that problem by ramming pilings into the bedrock to support the buildings.
point is, there are some ingenious engineers out there to overcome nearly any problem –
and my guess is that PT has them all in his “contacts”. 😂
i join you in marveling at what can be done, AO! 😁
They’re going to talk about many things, but obviously not about every thing . . .
They can’t hide the construction from spy satellites and so forth, so they publicly talk about most of it.
The most important thing that the White House complex must provide is security. This effort will provide it, both above and below ground. We will no longer have to stage events at the Hilton Hotel.
Jesus was a Tektōn (τέκτων), that is a craftsman. They say he was a carpenter, but he was probably a stone mason given the available materials, but both involve an intimate knowledge with the natural world, which is how we know about God, and problem solving. So in some ways I’m not being glib–while acknowledging in other ways I’m being provocatively glib–but it’s a valid point. Read Trump’s Art of the Deal, that my takeaway was that he has an intimate knowledge of building, financing, and dealmaking. There’s a NatGeo vid on what Jesus when he was between 12 and 30 years old? Pretty obvious–he was working as a tekton, and in doing so, learning about God!
Jesus was also privileged enough to attend some very high-society weddings and dinner parties. Such as the one at the scene of his first miracle, in which he supplied gallons of apparently very high-quality wine . . . (“Jesus ’33” … can I please have a bottle of that?)
…but not everyone was invited…
Great show!
“Sen. Bill Cassidy announces he’s REFUSING to vote for President Trump’s ball room security funding — after LOSING his seat to Trump’s primary challenger”….
Can’t replace this Louisiana RINO soon enough…. Been a Senator in office since 2015 and a US Representative since 2009 (and LA State Senate 2006 – 2009 before that) and what do we have to show for it? He’s well past his sell by date. These guys need to go back to their prior careers and get out of DC. What a vindictive tool.
The problem is they never had any prior careers, in the first place.
He is a Pediatrician who is very happy with the childhood vaccine schedule….all 72 shots.
Once a dickhead, always a dickhead. One down, many to go.
What else would you expect from a cretinous weasel? (no offense to, you know, actual weasels)
Thank you God for President Trump.
Amen.
Remember the tour of the WH in February 2017 that PDJT gave to the press?
PDJT was in front of a wall being demo’d, and he smilingly said, “We found gold in those walls!”
Not one of the press core asked, ‘What was that gold?” Barry’s friends didn’t inquire.
Of course, it was listening devices.
Get that Uranium!
Re jacket removal-
Likely, for comfort in the vehicle.
Pragmatically, for security- his arm was touched by those he shook hands with- (micro-transmitter?)
“My spider sense was tingling”
😬
Pres. Trump mentioned the wasteful taxpayer $ the former marxist occupier shelled out for the pool.
Millions for a failure- another gift to his cronies?*
Or to himself, his favorite person.
The thing is just a great big, very shallow, swimming pool. It isn’t hard to know how to maintain it – you just have to do it, and be careful to fix problems early. For many stinky, leaky, algae-soaked decades, this didn’t happen. (And I’d like to know why not.)
Yes. The prior budgets should be reviewed and those responsible for not doing their jobs fired.
Kinda’ like a certain skating rink in NYC.
President Trump is always gracious towards the press pool most of whom don’t deserve it.
It amazes me that so many hate this man! He is fantastic. He is explaining the underground, saying what a great thing it will be, I bet we dont hear a word from the press…he feeds them breakfast, takes them on a tour of what is happening, explains that the ballroom, where nobody will live is on top of the safe rooms for military etc, best idea ever as if they bomb it, nobody on top will be killed…I mean, he is amazing, and all they can do is beak about the cost, he is gifting the ballroom…they have tried to make him a liar by saying he went to congress for 1 billion dollars when they KNOW the billion is for the safe rooms underground. lets see what the media spins.
….and the titanium in various places!! And his references to the Greek and Roman architectural styles….goodness, he crammed a lot of information into his (without note cards) comments (as he always does, of course). …. but gotta love the use of titanium …
President Jefferson was an Architect by trade.
President Trump is a builder by trade.
Enough said!…
It has been “pure fun” watching Trump, the “billionaire builder,” utterly ripping apart projects like the FBI building, the deplorable state of Kennedy Center, and even the Reflecting Pool. He made his fortune, not by grift, but by clearly seeing what needed to be done and articulating a plan to do it. He then brought subordinates underneath himself who had the skills and the drive to make it happen. Correctly.
He also spent “other people’s money” wisely. To the consternation of corrupt lawyers who tried to frame him for fraud, bankers openly stated that they had been fully repaid with interest, and that they would be pleased to do business with him again!
In short, Donald Trump is a “subject-matter expert” in this field, and an honest man, with a lifetime of proven results. Washington, DC has never seen this before!
Fried green tomatoes.
2,000 years later…you cant take it with you.
Great visual!
My roomie has severe TDS and I was playing this on my TV when she came out of the bathroom and of course she begins frothing at the mouth. Every time she said something nasty I dialed up the volume another 5 notches.
She actually had to start listening to him and quite frankly I think she went away impressed after actually listening to him.
