If it was a shi÷÷y basketball court pushed by jug ears, it wouldn't be an issue.

Not to mention, how much money are we going to save by hosting our own shite?

The figure I've seen about the tent rental is that it's something to the tune of $1M/event.

Well of course the government is supplying money. They are building a basement and a POTUS bunker underneath where the ballroom will stand and theres no telling what other defensive security secrets they will employ. I can’t believe people think having no ballroom in the White House is ok. It’s the fricking White House.

funding for security


Silly me, I thought security was the job of the US Secret Service which is funded by US taxpayers.

If Obama asked for $1b for a ballroom in 2011 the servers on this site would crash

The ballroom and monuments are my favorite thing Trump is doing - we need more American exceptionalism not less. He is great at branding - let him cook.


These thing are what the young people and morons that hang on every idiot podcaster’s word need, to see great monuments - maybe it will inspire them to stop being so lazy and quit bitching about the supposed system that’s keeping them down (it’s not they just suck it’s easier to make money now than in history)

he more excited I get to find out what the NatSec functions are in the MIL bunker below.

Yea, you are never getting that information. They're very clearly expanding/renovating the PEOC, as that is where it is located.

Nothing beyond "its there" is going to be public.

People, the PEOC was/is already there under the East Wing and has been for almost a century

They're working on it modernizing it though, as a part of this.

ALL major work done at the WH involves and masks underground work.

No one is struggling. Our tax dollars aren't being used for the ballroom.

I'm amazed how wrapped up in the ballroom the libs are. Democratic Underground thinks it is a big reason the midterms will cost Republicans. The masses are up in arms over the ballroom

And then some indoctrinated soy boy from Torrance crossed the entire country to try and assassinate the President at the WHCD, and completely validated the need for a Presidential Ballroom to host these events as opposed to a fancy hotel off of WH property.

It's amazing how things work out. Self-fulfilling Prophecy Syndrome.
