Do you know what's under the East Wing?

Do you know what's under the East Wing? - Dailykos

Beneath the East Wing is the PEOC, a secure underground bunker built during World War II for President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

It’s designed to withstand bombings and nuclear attacks.

It serves as a continuity-of-government facility, equipped with communication systems, oxygen supplies, and blast-resistant construction.

There are tunnels connecting the PEOC to other parts of the White House complex, including the West Wing and the Executive Residence.



Next he'll be demolishing NORAD.

protests.

After his time in the bunker was reported in the news, Trump demanded that officials find and prosecute those responsible for the information getting to the press.

Trump's secretary of defense, Mark Esper, described in his 2022 book that Trump stated the person who leaked his whereabouts "should be tried for treason and should be executed".

To burn it all down. Our laws, our traditions, our rights, our financial future, our buildings, our national parks, our place in the world. You name, they want to kill it. Period. On top of that Trump genuinely believes he personally owns all of it. I believe he genuinely thinks he can sell anything he wants to any buyer he wants and pocket the cash. National treasures, historic documents, state secrets, You name it.

Even with his disability he got out on the back roads to visit the real public, the forgotten public.
I don't think this man has ever been out of the White House on his own!
