The topic was that the shelter that is supposedly being built under the ballroom is completely against protocol for Presidential safety. What is there currently works appropriately for the intended short term to safety of president and staff and then removing them swiftly and secretly to another location. The absurdity of a large staffed hospital and permanent bunker, to say nothing of the announcing the location to the world was also a concern! All of these seem like common sense which makes me think the entire project will be a pre paid grift that will never amount to anything but an eyesore.
