Trump: "Ballroom" is a "shield" for "a big Military complex" being built underneath it. WOW! Hitler had one of those!

Trump has complained that a “stupid” lawsuit forced him to reveal plans to build a top-secret military base underneath his White House ballroom.

The 79-year-old president was defending his $400 million vanity project while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday night, after a New York Times article over the weekend exposed the shoddy nature of its construction and design.

While holding comically large placards detailing how the completed ballroom might look, Trump also gave updates on what is being built beneath the area where the White House East Wing once stood.

“The military is building a big complex under the ballroom, which has come out recently because of a stupid lawsuit that was filed,” he said.

“The ballroom essentially becomes a shed [shield] for what’s being built under the military, including from drones, and including from any other thing,” Trump added. “The glass, or the windows, you see the big windows, the glass is extremely thick. It’s high-grade bulletproof glass, so all of the windows are bulletproof.”

...and I'd assume "building a Military complex on White House grounds" requires more prior approval than was sought by Trump.

Either a larger Situation/War room/Bunker setup like they have in the movies, or an AI based population monitoring center.
Whatever it was going to be, there was too much space required just to be a throne room, err, ball room.
