So, if there's a bunker under the late east wing...

I don't suppose Trump has had any weight testing done to figure out where and how deep the footers should be placed?

1. No doubt there are structural engineers on the McCrery team.

As well as Geotechnical Engineers.

So, yes, they know what the bearing capacity of any below-grade structures are. Demo and rebuilding of the bunker could be part of the project, though. We'll see what kind of hole they excavate - unless they cover it during construction.

3. Rebuilding the bunker underneath might just be the actual reason for the whole exercise IMHO

That way, when IQ47's "Hiding out in the Bunker, Berlin 1945 Style" era finally arrives, his final digs will be much more luxurious.

4. Oh, he wants the Event Space.

His favorite place in the world is the dining room at Mar A Lago - he wants to hold court.

7. Fair enough, probably true

He also wants a building on the WH premises that will forever bear his name, which since he is purportedly raising the money to build it, is unlikely to be challenged in the near future. We already know from his history that he loves any kind of monument that bears his name in large, tacky fake gold letters. It's very important to pathological narcissists that their delusions of grandeur are validated in this way

8. it's already been named the Epstein Ballroom.

No one will ever dance there, however.

2. I doubt anything can be built in time

to protect him .. seems the bunker now is even more vulnerable.

Im starting to suspect there never will be a ballroom , it’s just another grift , and the destruction was just more to the point cruelty .

6. There will be a ballroom.

There will be grifting, sure, but he wants this as much as anything he's ever wanted. It's a venue for his adoration.

He wanted Obama to do this in 2010.

9. Ok , I'll try to see it your way ... but

5. All that anyone could talk about over the last 150 years..

Is the need for a Whitehouse ballroom.
I hope this pleases elements of our country like the farmers, so they can stop griping about their crops not being picked or sold on foreign markets.
They need to stop acting so selfish!
