Who pays for Trump’s White House bunker-ballroom? The answer just changed

A third attempt on Donald Trump’s life was sobering. It shocked the left-right animosity into a few hours of calm. Even the man stepped out of character to say a few nice things about journalists with whom he was having dinner before being rushed out.

Then he turned philosophical, saying assassins target ‘the most impactful people’.
But when in shock, use the crisis to push your cause — which he did within hours of the attempted attack. It was his beloved ballroom, a fortified 90,000-sq ft building to secure him and future presidents. The ballroom obsession also blew open what once was relatively secret, known only to a privileged few — an upgraded underground shelter for emergencies hiding below.
