I've thought all along that there must have been something in there they were destroying that the other side was counting on. Surveillance equipment or something. They're acting like this is a major blow.


The Presidential Emergency Operations Center is under the East Wing, but that's not being affected by this construction.

I would wager it is. Of course they're not going to come out and tell us that.

Initially Trump said that they wouldn't do anything affecting the exterior of the building, but that obviously changed. They're upgrading shite underground, imo.

The exterior is specialized material. This isn’t renovating your garage.


The East Wing, built by Truman in the 40's, is not.

He was probably referring to the Residence/mansion part of the White House, which would be correct.

Someone woke up and chose violence today.

Most people unfortunately won’t get the percentage reference.

Marble exterior.

The cost of erecting then dismantling a tent is on going continual cost. The insanity of a professor Elizabeth Warren is sickening. Insanity from a classroom. Only as good and creative as her last textbook.

Yeah, here ya go. Trump telling people that he is working with the military on the project. They're indeed upgrading the bunker. No other reason for the military to be involved in this.

They won't, this is just the process required to make an addition.

Under the new room. You can't do anything underground at the existing without undermining the foundation.

This is standard even if the building isn't an historic landmark.

Adding onto it using the space under the new ballroom. There are only a few things they can do to the existing bunker structurally.
