White House Reveals Secret New Hospital for Trump, 79
Source: Daily Beast
Updated May 16 2026 2:57AM EDT / Published May 16 2026 12:50AM EDT
The White House has unleashed a frantic new push to move ahead with construction on President Donald Trumps ballroom, which they now say is also needed to give the aging president a state-of-the-art hospital and medical facilities.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche delivered the latest startling revelation in a court filing late Thursday that sounded as if much of it had been pulled straight from one of the 79-year-old presidents Truth Social tirades. It hailed the planned $400 million ballroom as a gift to the People of the United States that is being hampered only by preservationists suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation sued to halt construction of the project in December after the East Wing was demolished to make way for the 90,000-square-foot ballroom without first obtaining approval. A federal judge blocked above-ground construction, though that order was stayed while an appeals court panel reviews the case, with oral arguments now scheduled for June 5.
In the wake of suspected gunman Cole Tomas Allens attack at the White House Correspondents Dinner in April (which, as usual, was not held at the White House), Blanche publicly pressured the National Trust to dismiss its lawsuit. But the organization refused. Trump is apparently still smarting from that rejection, as Blanche repeatedly accused the D.C. nonprofit of failing to show an appropriate level of sympathy after the attempted assassination at the dinner.

If it needs upgrades, fund THAT and support the troops who use it.
In other not-news, TSF is an asshole.
sop
(19,259 posts)they can staff such a facility. Doing so would require a full-time team of specialists, nurses, technicians and support staff on site. It would cost a fortune to have them just sitting around the White House doing nothing, waiting for the moment Trump suffers some life-threatening situation requiring immediate care.
Besides, each time there's been an attempted "assassination," Trump has been at a Bund rally, out on the golf course or some place other than the White House.
If Trump were to actually suffer a life-threatening event while at the residence (knock on wood), they'd have to first round up all the necessary specialists and staff, then rush them to his "state of the art hospital and medical facility." Hopefully, it would take hours. That's why hospitals like Walter Reed exist..

(172,138 posts)In the replay from a different angle at 0.32, the small tower in front of that closer to the beach that had been made a part of that complex, used to be a Holiday Inn that I remember staying in back in 1974 after my dad died... and the building to the left with the rounded roof, is the famous Boardwalk Hall. That is all located at the southern-most end of the boardwalk whereas his Taj Mahal (now a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino) was near the northern-most end.

Before that tower was built and demolished, the site looked like this -


The pier was the "Million Dollar Pier" with rides and arcades.
Then it got all incorporated into a complex with that 2nd tower.

Isn't there already some medical facility that has the equipment to do various tests?

(55,518 posts)built under his "arc" so everyone can see him suffering in agonizing pain until he eventually dies from it. Dying right away is TOO EASY a way out. True justice would be making him suffer as he has made millions of people suffer. KARMA while he is still alive. I want the Spanish Inquisition tortures to look like a picnic compared to the unending torture he deserves and we deserve to see.

(41,021 posts)He doesnt want nosy news media seeing him transported to a hospital like Walter Reed. He wants his own medical center in his underground bunker.
I wonder if it will contain a mausoleum. We may never be told when he dies. His grifting sycophants will just carry on business as usual.

And he doesnt plan on using it.
This is about the Trump legacy where future presidents and the American people will be forced to remember Trump whether they want to or not; where Trumps name will be mentioned in reference to the ballroom and everything else he leaves behind.

If an official had said they were building a special medical center for President Biden, the media would've been barking about PJB's age & health. There would've been 24/7/365 hearings

Hope22
(4,878 posts)Invest the money over at the VA hospital where it will be used 365 days a year. Quite frankly if the president needs to live in a hospital that person needs to retire from office. Like on the streets out here. You practically get kicked to the curb if a health issue arises.
He should just leave the presidency if hes that ill. Why would he need a private hospital anyway. Oh, so prying eyes dont find out hes going to the hospital all the time?

(8,164 posts)On good days, he will be upstairs in the ballroom.
On bad days, he will be downstairs getting his blood dialysis, meds rebalanced, etc.
How can we tell?
Easy enough, watch who helicopters in and out.
Party goers denote a good day.
Medical staff denotes a bad day.
Final act will be when the cement trucks show up and start filling the underground bunker.
Trump plans to never leave the White House!
In short, it is both a vanity project and a 'I am never leaving the White House!' project.
