Trump on Sunday, March 29, unveiled plans for a new White House ballroom, saying it would feature bulletproof glass, drone-proof construction and a massive military complex beneath it. Speaking aboard Air Force One, he showed off architectural renderings and said the added security reflects the threats of the current era.

“Now, the military is building a big complex under the ballroom, which has come out recently because of a stupid lawsuit that was filed,” Trump groused to reporters aboard Air Force One. “But the military is building a massive complex under the ballroom, and that’s under construction, and we’re doing very well,” Trump went on.

“We have all bullet-proof glass, we have drone-proof roofs, ceilings.”Hundreds of protesters swarm proposed NYC men's homeless shelter site, physically block construction truck Oil heir ordered to pay historic $1.1B after brutally attacking toddler stepson, putting him in wheelchairRumors have long swirled that the White House is renovating the nuclear bunker that once sat below the now-demolished East Wing.Renovations on the White House nuclear bunker, formally known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, had been an open secret, though many specific details of the work have been kept hidden. The nuclear bunker had been placed under the East Wing, which Trump demolished last year to make way for his vaunted $400 million ballroom. The bunker has been modernized numerous times in the decades since.that efforts to halt construction of the White House ballroom would pose national security concerns, something that was widely interpreted as referencing construction on the nuclear bunker. Trump has long described his ballroom as “impenetrable,” designed to be drone-proof and built with bulletproof glass. On Sunday, during his trip from Florida back to DC, Trump also unveiled the most recent designs for his ballroom project, seemingly provoked by adeep dive into the schematics, panning it for being overly large, featuring stairs to “nowhere,” and having columns that obstruct the view.The president showcased new renditions of the ballroom project that he claimed were just created earlier that day to show how much of the design has changed. “I think it will be the finest ballroom of its kind anywhere in the world,” Trump contended. “A lot of people are giving it really good reviews. Some are giving good reviews without even seeing the building, because this just came out today.” “It’s become really beautiful, but it matches and fits the White House. It’s also capable of handling the inauguration,” he added. Trump also swiped at the New York Times for being out of date in its analysis of his vaunted ballroom project. “I think The Times wrote, gee, some of the windows are fake. We have no fake windows. They said they talked about a stairway in the South. We don’t have a stairway in the South. That was replaced a long time ago,” he jabbed.
