13. Beware of the Trump ballroom/bunker plan.
Sun May 3, 2026, 11:17 AM

It is not just his ego wanting a grand (and tacky looking) place for entertaining.

The ballroom is an excuse for creating the underground bunker. There is a reason why he wants that bunker. Is it for protection from foreign attacks that his actions might trigger? Maybe. Protection from other world tyrants if he breaks out of lockstep with them (e.g. Putin)? Maybe.

I believe that Trump wants the bunker as a fortress for hiding from accountability when MAGAs lose political power. He wants a safe place from which to continue commanding the nation. From there he (and a MAGA successor) could order subversive actions, or even conduct the civil war that MAGAs have been longing for.
