Rally-style series of boasts does not include much in the way of plans to address affordability crisis
Donald Trump on Wednesday used a nationally-televised address to deliver a campaign-style rant in which he blamed his predecessor for the economic woes Americans are feeling a year into his presidency while offering little in the way of proposals to address the higher prices caused in large part by the massive tariffs he has placed on almost all American imports.
Speaking from the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House, Trump opened by claiming to have “inherited a mess” that he was now “fixing.”
What followed was a partisan rant indistinguishable from the signature rallies that have been the centerpiece of his political movement, in which he rattled off a list of grievances while blaming his predecessor for the state of the country nearly a full year after he took the oath of office.
She says that the original architect and contractors who do ballroom-type projects were quietly replaced after the initial announcement by ones who have a long history of designing military datacenters, far underground, for governments such as the US and Israel. Also no contractors for things like chandeliers, gold-trim etc. are on the project, which seems strange if the main point is the ballroom. The budget quoted is almost, dollar-for-dollar, the same amount as for a recent underground datacenter project recently completed elsewehere in the US.
As well, the East Wing was blocking access to add onto a pre-existing underground bunker complex beneath the West Wing, so demolishing it would allow for additions to that…
Oh, and some emergency orders for huge modifications to the DC water supply in order to increase availability to the WH property. Data centers need lots and lots of water.
He’s literally installing his own AI data center. Maybe he’ll use if the same way Hitler used his bunker.
Better theory! HE actually thinks it’s going to be a ballroom and this is a pet project from one of his Goebbels worshipers essentially embezzling funds… honestly probably directly for whatever peter thiel wants built there.
