Too competent for Trump, absolutely. But there are some pretty scary competent people behind him, whispering in his ear. As the video details, the people he's hired to work on his "ballroom", also happen to be some of the world's leading experts on building super secure, military grade data centers. There's not a lot of overlap between those things, so it's hard to imagine that it's just a random coincidence.

Project 2025 is 50% executed. There are some competent people pulling Trumps strings.

The article does give a reason, it says it's to allow "executive oversight." As if Trump is going to waddle on down there and work on the servers himself.

Exactly, why the hell would they put it underneath the whitehouse itself? There's already a bunch of existing underground infrastructure there that they would need to work around and all to put their super secret datacenter under the single most likely to be bombed building if the country were ever attacked. Even if they wanted a new datacenter it would make way more sense to build it offsite and just tunnel a few deep redundant data lines to the whitehouse.

As far as the whole secure underground datacenter thing, we already have them. Nobody I know has ever been inside it but Google runs a secure underground datacenter somewhat near where I live. It's basically a bunker full of servers burried deep into bedrock exactly like that "article" talks about. Most people don't even know it's there. I only know it exists because I know one of the guys that worked on some of the specialized HVAC equipment for it. Of course thats the only one I personally know about but I highly doubt it's the only one in the country.

You can buy anything with a bottomless pocketbook

I got two sticks of DDR4 they can buy for $2000. Heck, I'll even knock it down to $2500.

Because data centers also make great crypto mines. And guess who's currently trying to build their very own crypto empire?
