White House Reveals Secret New Hospital for Trump, 79

The White House has unleashed a frantic new push to move ahead with construction on President Donald Trumps ballroom, which they now say is also needed to give the aging president a state-of-the-art hospital and medical facilities.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche delivered the latest startling revelation in a court filing late Thursday that sounded as if much of it had been pulled straight from one of the 79-year-old presidents Truth Social tirades. It hailed the planned $400 million ballroom as a gift to the People of the United States that is being hampered only by preservationists suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation sued to halt construction of the project in December after the East Wing was demolished to make way for the 90,000-square-foot ballroom without first obtaining approval. A federal judge blocked above-ground construction, though that order was stayed while an appeals court panel reviews the case, with oral arguments now scheduled for June 5.
In the wake of suspected gunman Cole Tomas Allens attack at the White House Correspondents Dinner in April (which, as usual, was not held at the White House), Blanche publicly pressured the National Trust to dismiss its lawsuit. But the organization refused. Trump is apparently still smarting from that rejection, as Blanche repeatedly accused the D.C. nonprofit of failing to show an appropriate level of sympathy after the attempted assassination at the dinner.

(172,109 posts)In the replay from a different angle at 0.32, the small tower in front of that closer to the beach that had been made a part of that complex, used to be a Holiday Inn that I remember staying in back in 1974 after my dad died... and the building to the left with the rounded roof, is the famous Boardwalk Hall. That is all located at the southern-most end of the boardwalk whereas his Taj Mahal (now a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino) was near the northern-most end.

(61,087 posts)It is hard to even envision what this means. Would this serve everyone working at the White House? Otherwise, it is difficult to understand how many doctors, nurses, and other professional people would mostly be doing nothing.
Isn't there already some medical facility that has the equipment to do various tests?

(1,373 posts)Dont finish the project then say because it is halfway built, it must be repurposed as a ballroom.

(77,830 posts)And close to the White House is N.I.H., Walter Reed, and Bethesda Naval Hospital so the White House doesnt need its own Hospital. Although Trump does need an assisted living facility for his dementia.

(41,012 posts)He doesnt want nosy news media seeing him transported to a hospital like Walter Reed. He wants his own medical center in his underground bunker.
I wonder if it will contain a mausoleum. We may never be told when he dies. His grifting sycophants will just carry on business as usual.
