Trump goes off the deep end after judge halts his ballroom pet project - The Briefing - MS NOW



Donald Trump is so enamored of his White House ballroom pet project that he talks about it every chance he gets, regardless of the setting. Sometimes it seems like he wishes Americans would be as distracted by it as he is.

But now a judge has put a halt to the project, reminding Trump that he is a steward of the White House, not the owner, and requiring him to get approval from Congress first. - Aired on 03/31/2026.

Some suggestions have hinted at it being the top part of a bunker.
The published floor plan is certainly big enough to hold a decent sized bunker under it.
For a ballroom, it certainly is mega-sized.

The 'ballroom' may well be a hidey hole for Trump, when he needs to hide from a world that is out to get him.

If the build progresses, the casting of the concrete slab floor will tell all.

If it is some 10 or more feet thick and heavily reinforced, you will have proof.
Just count the number of concrete trucks delivering the pour and do the math.
