It's Not The Ballroom. It's What's Beneath It [View all]

There is a large bunker being built beneath it and with a totally deranged lunatic in the White House I am afraid that his plans are to make it bomb proof so he could hide out there while he launches nuclear weapons.

As we all know he threatened as much on Iran

Now the adiministration claims that the ballroom must be built to protect the pedophile in chief.

I hope someone is keeping an eye on what is being built below ground.
