Someone told him Congress will approve crazy requests if he can make them sound like they're for the military. Which is true, but he's so demented at this point that he can't connect any of the other obvious dots.

Because of course a wealthy, powerful democracy needs a base for drones and snipers inside the capital city which consciously resembles a monument to Roman imperialism.

So just like most of the things he’s built, it’ll self implode, collapse shortly after he’s siphoned off as much of the funds as he can.

It doesn't matter, it's coming down as soon as he's out. Then we need to pass a Federal law that it is illegal to name anything after Trump, except for Sewage Treatment Plants. That way, whenever anyone passes one, they can say "Wow, the Trump is particularly stinky today, much worse than usual."

It’s nice to save our adversaries time and effort when they eventually have had enough and need to shut us down. Now they will know where to bomb.

This is just to claim that building it is a national security matter to bypass laws intended to regulate the construction of vanity projects. It's just lies.

In British slang apparently trump already is a "childs" term used for fart.

So in the U.S. some say they tooted, British kids might say they trumped

Sounds like a primo place to store that class of battleships that he was promoting about nine months ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump-class_battleship

On 22 December 2025, U.S. president Donald Trump announced the Trump class, with two ships to be initially constructed of 10 planned, and eventual plans for "between 20 and 25" as part of a "Golden Fleet".

They could be stacked atop each other.

Fixed that for you.

Not defending conservatives, mind you, just think it's important to be accurate about what these crazies are..

True. Blatantly obvious and patently ridiculous lies at that. Hence the crossposting to !nottheonion@lemmy.world 😉

Maybe the horse men will ride their horses in the hole to get their tools and swords outpf the hole.

Or you know, the Chinese drones after a long drone flight might feel perky and take some loops around it. Great use of my tax money. How about also digging very deep holes out in the desert, just to see what's in there?

And it works - scotus in their infinite stupidity decided they can't judge whether something is a national security issue or not.

I bet someone told him it was a top secret place to store weapons, and he was like "got it" and tweeted immediately about the "top grade" place.

Actually, in the UK, 'to trump' now means to fuck an entire country into the ground with no shame whatsoever.

We should probably update the dictionary.

UK is not exactly in the position to throw stones on that matter.

Conservatives have always been on board with this shit. They just used to come up with semi-plausible explanations for it.

All that's happened is trump gave them permission to start saying the quiet parts out loud.

SCOTUS is not a legitimate judicial body anymore and needs to be dismantled. Conservatism destroys everything it touches.

Knowing the Wehraboos that hang around him, this was possibly inspired by the Berlin flak towers.

Oh, he's not actually going to get any battleships. Battleships have been obsolete since at least World War 2.

It also circumvents local approvals if it’s for national security. He’s trying to make a loophole.
