Saying "TRUMP LOST HIS SH*T" has become redundant, but he's having a toddler tantrum over his ballroom & a meanie judge

Judge Richard Leon, a President George W. Bush appointee, clarified his order on Thursday blocking the building of the White House ballroom.

The senior district judge said construction of the ballroom could not continue without congressional approval, but indicated Trump could keep building his underground bunker.

The president did not take kindly to the project being derailed, issuing three posts that not only attacked the judge but claimed no future president could ever be safe at the White House without his ballroom.

“The White House doesn’t have a Ballroom (No Taxpayer Money!), which Presidents have desperately wanted and desired for over 150 years, but a Trump Hating, Washington, D.C. District Court Judge, a man who has gone out of his way to undermine National Security, and to make sure that this Great Gift to America gets delayed, or doesn’t get built, is attempting to prevent future Presidents and World Leaders from having a safe and secure large scale Meeting Place, or Ballroom,” Trump, 79, posted on Truth Social.

The rant didn’t stop there as Trump rattled off in the same sentence that the ballroom would be, “one with Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital and Medical Facilities, Protective Partitioning, Top Secret Military Installations, Structures, and Equipment, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Columns, Roofs, and Beams, Drone Proof Ceilings and Roofs, Military Grade Venting, and Bullet, Ballistic, and Blast Proof Glass.”

Wow...sounds like the kind of place that an American adversary would target it with dozens of megaton warheads. The president would be better off with a tiny jet plane and a map to any place 200 miles away!!!!

10. Maybe he wants the bunker as a base of operation

in case a Dem Congress impeaches and convicts him.

In the event that he is ever convicted after being impeached, he will refuse to leave. A bunker would be a safe hideout from being arrested.

Or maybe he wants a bunker to hide from any of the numerous enemies he has made over the years in case they try to get revenge.

But a combo ballroom and bunker? That's just bonkers.

11. I bet Trump watched the 1968 film "They Saved Hitler's Brain" and is building an underground lab

where they will keep His disembodied brain alive in a shot glass full of electrified Kool Aid.

The Man is always thinking. We normal humans cannot hope to match His thought patterns.
