A court filing made Thursday by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is shedding new light on why Donald Trump is so anxious about completing his long-planned White House ballroom as soon as possible, and it has nothing to do with parties at the facility.
The filing includes this paragraph: “The Project, which includes a state-of-the-art hospital and medical facilities, Top Secret military installations, bomb shelters, structures, and equipment, protective partitioning, and other features—is fully designed to protect the President.”
According to The Daily Beast, Blanche’s filing also includes wording that suggests the ballroom would somehow prevent future attempts on Trump’s life, a dubious assertion that the Justice Department is making in light of the shooting incident at this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Trump was unscathed in that attack.
“Arguing that the ballroom project—which is set to include an underground bunker—is vital to prevent any future assassination attempts, Blanche fumed that the National Trust suing to stop construction ‘does not even attempt to argue otherwise.’ It only quotes a ‘few platitudes that suggest security concerns do not impact the [project’s] merits, and disrespectfully downplay[s] the attempted assassination of President Trump, Mrs. Trump, and many others.'”
Trump’s failing health has been on full display in recent months.
The so-called president has often appeared confused, suggesting he is suffering from dementia, which runs in his family and led to the death of his father, Fred.
Trump has also been seen with badly swollen ankles and grotesque bruises on the backs of his hands. The White House has tried to downplay the bruising, suggesting it’s caused by the aspirin he takes as a precaution against heart disease.
So is the ballroom just a cover story for the medical facility/on-site hospital? That’s certainly what many people think, and they expressed their concerns on social media.
If Trump needs care at a hospital, Walter Reed Medical Center is available. It has served as a treatment facility for many presidents and is considered one of the best in the world.
The real reason Trump wants a hospital in his ballroom couldn’t be clearer: His health is rapidly declining, and he’s afraid the severity of his ailments will leak out. He’ll be 80 next month and is nearing the end of his life. It’s all about optics, and Donnie can sense that his body is on the verge of shutdown.
