Trump's ballroom brief boasts bombs, bunkers and brash style

In a heated filing to resume construction on the White House's East Wing, the Trump administration's legal team employed an unconventional tone, mirroring the president's signature online flair.

National-security harms

The government argued that the unfinished project leaves the president and staff vulnerable to 'grave national-security harms,' a claim backed by the revelation of previously unknown security features.

The planned structure will be built with 'missile resistant steel columns' and 'drone proof roofing materials,' housing 'bomb shelters, a hospital and medical area, protective partitioning, and Top Secret Military installations.'

Trump's recent assertion that the 1,000-seat ballroom would serve as an 'underground military bunker' was supported in the filing, which also boasts that the project is 'on budget and ahead of schedule,' entirely funded by 'private donors and American Patriots.'

However, the government's exuberance was tempered in the filing's latter pages, which presented the legal argument in more traditional legalese.
