'National security' is everything now with this government. It's become a meaningless word and should be treated that way in the courts.

‘This corvette is definitely a business expense because I plan to have a business meeting in it’ vibes

Maybe Trump could see the writing on the wall and thought he would be the next person to burn down the White House not a bunch of drunk Canadians.

Of which nation?

More like, a matter of securing bribe money for his bank account

It's convenient how you can say anything is a matter of national security and that makes it ok.

So here's the deal:

trump considers himself the nation.

Without a ballroom, trump is insecure.

trump is insecure.

What was that conspiracy theory that they're building an underground data center and the ballroom is just a cover?

Starting to sound a little less wacky...

It's going to feature a dentist chair and a bunch of weird heads on the walls, isn't it?

I’ve seen better ballroom in a pair of Hanes.

With the amount of listening/recording devices that'll be fitted during construction then I'll have to agree that it will be a national security issue...

But I NEEED it! If you don't give it to me, I'll probably die! Or kill you. National security!

Hahaha

Like, a major security hole?

Fundraising/holding bribery lineups cannot be national security, no matter how he decides in his head. That is only purpose of a ballroom: Holding such events.

Time to put on a tin foil hat.

I think they're also doing something else with the ballroom, but they're not just building a ballroom, they are building a bunker of some description.

Here are the top 10 corporate donors who gave money to tear down the Whitehouse for this monstrosity. Keep that in mind when picking who you buy from.

"National Security" sounds like it's actually a bunker he's gonna hide in after he starts a major war, and ponders taking the easy way out when it's finally surrounded by the Allies.

(Maybe I'm mixing up my history, it all sounds so similar...)

Wouldnt be a national security risk if he didnt put a giant hole in the fucking wall...

If Trump can't schmooze in a gaudy gilded hall and get bribes, he just might not make the nation secure.

The security feature is the underground bunker. I saw some reports (apparently now regarded as rumors) that they were going to spend a lot on upgrading it. Who knows.

A New data center underneath the white house to spy on citizens isn’t a national security threat the way they think it is

Of course the Epstein-Trump Friendship Ballroom is a matter of national security. Where else are they going to host their underage drinking parties?

Yeah, sure it's about national security, and so's fucking around with fonts.

In what way...?

/genX

Well, it kinda is. Because if it isn't built, Trump will be angry and is probably going to bomb a US city or something.
