Trump: “The DronePort at the Ballroom will be, perhaps, the most sophisticated anywhere in the World! It will safeguard our Nation’s Capital long into the future. Judge Leon should stop playing games w/ America’s Security! If anything happens, he will be held responsible for the Death & Destruction”

1. Isn't keeping all the drones on the roof sort of a security issue in itself? Are they going to put missile launchers all

Isn’t keeping all the drones on the roof sort of a security issue in itself? Are they going to put missile launchers all along the roof? Is it going to be a battlehouse?

9. "What could go wrong?" A LOT!

The picture Trump is posting on his website shows a fleet of General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper UAVs.

Folks, an MQ-9 is bigger than a lot of private planes and it weighs a heck of a lot more, even when it’s empty. Those aircraft need 5000 feet of runway.

5000 feet south of where the north end of Trump’s ballroom supposedly will be is the Tidal Basin.

There are two options here.

Option 1, the least likely one: this ballroom is going to be way bigger than Trump’s letting on.
Option 2, the almost certain one: our psychotic president has way too much time on his hands.

10. Other than to grease the Trump family palms, why do we need a drone port at the White House?
