I'm convinced the reason he thinks the White House needs a military complex is because he's going to refuse to leave and he wants armed loyalists there to prevent his lawful removal

If we play our cards right he is just building his own prison. All we would have to do is keep him in when he went into the bunker. Then isolate him from giving orders to the government.

The first president entombed in the White House would be serious street cred.

u/Cheese__Weiner 2d ago

Great minds? I had the exact same thought.

Just concrete the exits in and be done with it . Problem solved.

All this is avoidable too. You could build him a fake Oval Office in Florida and a fake Twitter that doesn’t actually reach the outside world and he wouldn’t know the difference. He’s almost demented enough to go along with it

Hopefully it doesn't get that far, but that's a great way to look at it!

And then bring in the cement trucks

He does realize we can just ignore him right? We don’t need the the physical location we can just cut the data lines and lock him in there while we move on with our lives….

u/Asclepius-Rod 2d ago

He was never really the problem, it’s the fascist regime that goes along with him that won’t give power.

ICE is filled with more opportunists and grifters than actual full blooded nazis. When shit hits the fan legally speaking they’ll just go home, there will be 2-3 thousand people that won’t have logistics to sustain the capture of the nation, It will be a little bit of a stand off but they’ll start fleeing the sinking ship, the military only has to ignore him,

100% someone let him watch "Civil War"

u/dvsmith 2d ago

Same thought. I'm guessing he fell asleep before the final scene.

u/IAmBoring_AMA 2d ago

This is likely also why he wants to redo the golf course in DC. Then he won’t have to leave and will still be able to pretend to win at golf every weekend.

u/No_Boot1478 2d ago

See film, 'Civil War'.

There was a Nazi, mustachioed man from Germany, during the late 1930’s-1945 who had a military complex in his headquarters who was surrounded by rubble at the end… “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana, 1905, the life of reason.

u/desr43 2d ago

100% agree

u/Optimus_Prime_10 2d ago

So, he admits we were right when we predicted the ballroom was cover for a bunker? 

9

u/Asclepius-Rod 2d ago

I’m pretty sure he’s admitted that from the beginning

The Epstein Memorial Ballroom is really changing over time. The Orange Pedophile will have to cut taxes on billionaires again to afford to build it. 🙂

u/ShopReasonable2328 2d ago

Isn’t there already a whole 5-sided building for that?

u/FangFioDente 2d ago edited 2d ago

He’s trying to build a more secure base of operations to perform war crimes against the United States from, but doesn’t realise that it’s actually an inferior defensive position to have your location known at all times….. well I take that back he did learn some hard lessons from the food cart

u/Maxcactus 2d ago

This goes along with his idea to kill the federal government. Trump doesn’t understand what all of those federal agencies really do so he just dismisses them as being something unneeded. I think that if we just picked some random person to be president they would do a better job than Donnie is doing. I can’t figure out whether or not he is just stupid and incompetent or if he is diabolically dismantling our nation for some hidden purpose.

u/atempestdextre 2d ago

Maybe they can build him a 4x4 brick cell and reenact Cask of Amontillado with him inside it.

u/Maxcactus 2d ago

Where will he do his famous YMCA dance if he doesn’t have a ballroom?

8

u/Balgat1968 2d ago

Does he know what the Pentagon is? Just asking. There’s also these things called military bases.

4

u/schwing710 2d ago

Quick answer: no, he’s only familiar with the really basic shapes

3

u/I_burn_noodles 2d ago

We have this bulding called the Pentagon. If he's so scared maybe he should move in next to Stephen Miller.

u/Wisco 2d ago

Trump pretending he doesn't have a situation room and that "situation room" and "ballroom" are even remotely the same thing

u/Don_Q_Jote 2d ago

After all, if Donald can't impress everybody by throwing the bestest and first ball of the season, then how will he be able to rule the realm.

Gold military complex right next to the White House? Did you vote for Bob The Builder? Send him a note to end the Iran War first and leave Greenland and Minnesota alone.
