This is beginning to look less and less like a ballroom.

There is bunker stuff beneath it, but of what value is that?

Giving away your location is a sure way to collect missiles from foreign nations.

The president has a "Doomsday Plane" to escape when the country is nuked.

It can only be a "panic room" to defend against Americans, which he expects by the "every accusation is a confession" mirror rule, to storm the White House, having set his Jan 6 militia against congress.

It is only another diversion, as is every action taken since his second term began, from the Epstein matter, the biggest illicit sex, blackmail and money-laundering operation in history. All the grift stands to be lost when his true involvement is exposed.

    But does the plane have a ballroom? No? Well, then.

    Eh, I'm not sure I buy that for the ballroom thing. I suspect that it is more the Ceaușescu thing; for a certain type of weird dictator, the temptation to build some sort of stupid self-aggrandising building is just irresistible (see this absurd object: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_the_Parliament).
