This is a pretty interesting take on the situation

ETA a link to a written transcript (hat tip to usonian )

1. I thought it was a bunker

… to lock himself inside of for when we finally come after him with farm implements and sharp things to force him the hell out and into prison. *eyeroll*

[Joinfortmill]

4. Ha!

[RazorbackExpat]

23. It'll double as "Pedo Central"

now that Epstein Island is off limits

[Rebl2]

29. I had

heard there was a bunker being built somewhere in the ballroom. I would think it needs to be underground.

[Joinfortmill]

2. Holy shit! An underground AI data center. This is way over my head

She sounds rational and logical. The part I'm missing and/or don't fully understand is for what purpose is this data center being built.

[HighFired49]

17. The first thing that comes to mind for me-

BITCOIN MINING. It's my understanding that mining bitcoin demands a tremendous amount of electricity, and is extremely expensive. I guess that if you could get the government to pay for the cost and then keep the profits, one could become extremely wealthy. Sounds like a scam right up Dump's alley if he can figure out a way to set it all in motion before he croaks or runs out of his time as president. I don't know all that much about such an operation, so it's just a guess.

[Irish_Dem]

20. Yes Trump would love to make the US taxpayer foot the bill for cost of his scams.

[doc03]

28. I worked in a steel mill 40 years, steel mills consume a tremendous

amount of electricity, I can understand that. I just can't comprehend how mining Bitcoins or data
centers can use so much energy and not produce any physical product. This reminds me of the Dot Com
bubble where there was all this imaginary wealth that went up in smoke.

[flashman13]

31. Think of it as the all seeing eye that no one can escape or the end of privacy as we know it.

[Deuxcents]

3. OMG..

[yellow dahlia]

5. Yikes!

[Skittles]

6. wouldn't he have a better cover than a BALLROOM if that was true

[rubbersole]

12. A house of ill repute...like grandpa had.

"Melania the Madame" has a ring of authenticity she has been missing 'til now.

[Irish_Dem]

21. What else could he call it building it right next to the White House?

Ballroom sounds like a large facility so it is a good cover.

Cancel comment. It's already in GD.

[UpInArms]

11. Thank you

I have added your transcript link to the OP

[Diraven]

8. John Henry Eden?

Sounds like their actually building the villain from Fallout 3

[hunter]

9. They are transferring Trump's brain to a computer...

... and it will declare itself Eternal President of the United States, E-POTUS for short.

[Progressive dog]

34. An old Commodore 64 would store

more data than Trump.

[summer_in_TX]

10. Well-researched with sources listed at the end of the transcript.

It's pretty clear that both the amount of space Trump is claiming the ballroom he is building will take up (90,000 square feet) and the cost of the project far exceeds any other logical explanation. Plus all the other evidence Drey marshals is substantive.

[jeffreyi]

13. Makes as much sense as anything.

But. Not very secret, it seems. But I know less than nothing.

[Snoopy 7]

19. jeffreyi jeffreyi jeffreyi

One thing that I learned while in the service with a TS clearance is that the best way to hide something big is either have it built at different facilities where the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Or, do it right in front of their faces and they won't have a clue until it's done...

[Irish_Dem]

22. Sounds about right. This is what Trump is doing.

[LudwigPastorius]

14. It seems to me that you'd want to build a secret data center someplace...well, secret.

You also wouldn't want to build it someplace that is a definite target in the event of a nuclear war...which the White House surely is.

You would also want to build it into bedrock, to protect it and to have a heat sink to keep it cool. There is no bedrock beneath the White House.

I guess we'll see if they pull 2 million cubic feet of soil out of that hole. Excavating a space that big requires removing a lot of dirt, and that dirt has to go somewhere.

My money is still on Trump building a secret sex dungeon underneath the ballroom for his high roller donors.

[Irish_Dem]

24. We know there will be bedrooms upstairs.

For the purpose you state.

[FormerOstrich]

15. Very interesting!

Thanks for posting the transcript. I really detest everything is a video, of late.

[NBachers]

16. Thank you for posting this. The vaunted Israel data centers didn't do too good a job predicting Hamas October 7 attacks,

did they? Or did they?

[no_hypocrisy]

18. It's been reported that the Israel "High Command" was well aware of

HAMAS training and edging towards the border of Israel -- and let it happen.

[Irish_Dem]

25. I agree, I don't believe MOSSAD knew nothing about it.

Along with the US the finest intelligent gathering team in the world.

[sop]

26. Another topic for a congressional hearing when Dems regain control of the House (and Senate?) in 2026.

[doc03]

27. Would they build a massive underground data center in a swamp? nt

[LudwigPastorius]

33. Only if they were stupid.

…but, you know…Trump, so it’s possible.

[CoopersDad]

30. WOW! This sounds 100% true.

I work in the energy sector and every detail she describes makes sense.

Highly recommended.

[betsuni]

32. It'll be a big money-pit swampy mosquito hole and if anything's ever built there it will immediately collapse. The end.
