Let him have his ballroom/bunker and a 9 mm Luger. Oh wait, felons are not allowed to own firearms, only nuclear codes.

He is surrounded by firearms.

The "REAL REASON" is that Trump intends to use the underground bunker as a command center, after he declares martial law, and then goes on to cancel or steal the 2026 midterms, and then refuse to leave the White Hoiuse after his term expires.

As Alisa's report suggests, none of those megalomaniacs got out alive. Trump's creating his own mausoleum. Complete with launch codes.

Perhaps, but I'm concerned with the survival of Freedom and Democracy, not Trump's final resting place. Before Hitler's suicide, as many as 85 million people were slaughtered. We, the people, havde to bring as much power to bear as we can to insure that the bunker never gets built, at least while Trump lives in the White House.

Or maybe the corrupt Republican Party who has been propping up a clearly demented, sick old loser find yet another work around. 🙄

They're certainly trying, and they won't stop themselves.

Maybe we can carry on, seal the vault. I don't believe anyone in there will want to emerge.

At the rate things are going, I don’t think his bunker will be ready for at least another couple of years—maybe just before the end of his term.

Perhaps. But we can't count on guess work. We need to do all that we can to insure that it doesn't get built, starting with court battles and winning the House in 2026, so as to cut off all funding.

He needs to expire, resign, be impeached, move away, go to jail. Any or all.

Thank you. Yet another scheme at US citizens expense.

The biggest scam ever sold to Americans wasn’t trickle-down economics.

It was convincing ordinary people that demanding healthcare, housing, education, and a living wage was somehow “un-American.”

FDR tried to stop exactly what this country has become. The oligarchs made sure he failed.

You need to read this.

From the time he announced this project, some voices pointed out that the cost was way over the top for what was proposed on the surface. They were shouted down by people who really ought to know better by now, but here we are again. This time the numbers are bigger, and more public. But this bunker is clearly modeled after one Netanyahu had built in Tel Aviv, only better and much more expensive.

Congress gives Trump a blank check. He's using that check to make Congress irrelevant.

Seems like secrecy is a necessary part of a dictator's bunker, though. See Hatvanpuszta (Orban's bunker), Franco's planned P-line, or for that matter Project Green Island in W. Virginia.
