I have to go for another popcorn run.

Talking about tunnels.

Did anyone think it strange that DJT wanted to really point out the fact that Powell had a basement built under the Fed Reserve.

And who knows what is to be found when they dig for the new ballroom. Trump paying for it!!!
How often do they really use a ballroom?
Wonder what they will find when they dig.

Just a thought.

Great observation! Yes, tunnels, tunnels and more tunnels. Want to dig up some at the White House? Need an excuse to do so? How about ballroom! After all, POTUS is only saving freedom around the world in relentless novel and historic fashion - why WOULDN'T he focus on redecorating!? 

DIdn't Trump (Melania?) 'replace the rose garden lawn with gravel? XD

I went looking for Trump's remarks about Powell building a basement:

Trump Rips Fed Chair Powell As “Grossly Incompetent,” Building A Basement In A River

Story by Erin Sherwood

President's remarks from the Kennedy Center focus on mismanagement of a multi-billion-dollar project, including a basement built near the Potomac River.

Excerpted: 

"Trump's remarks focused heavily on the construction of a new basement at the Fed's headquarters.

"The building is right next to a thing called the Potomac River," he said. "The water is right under the building. And they decide to build a basement." The president claimed this required the use of "the biggest pumps that God ever created" and was a waste of resources, arguing that a basement is the "least valuable" part of a building.

The president also attacked the overall cost of the project, alleging it should have been a "25 million dollar" fix-up, but instead has a price tag of over three billion dollars. He accused the Fed of taking down ceilings to fix "a little piece of flake of paint" and replacing them with expensive "protective material" and "hardened sheetrock" that was unnecessary.

He also claimed the renovation could have been accomplished for a fraction of the cost by simply using "the most magnificent silk" or wallpaper."

I shudder to think why Powell dug a basement in a river. It reminds me of Ghislaine's submarine license. They wouldn't need anything larger than a research submersible to transport people/children without being seen. From 'nother AI:

Yes, the Potomac River is large enough to accommodate research submersibles, especially in its wider sections. Researchers often use various equipment to study the river's ecosystem, indicating that it can support such activities. George Mason University potomacriverkeepernetwork.org

Width and Depth of the Potomac River Near the Federal Reserve Building

  • The average depth of the Potomac River is around 24 feet (7.3 meters).
  • The deepest point in the river, located in the tidal section near Washington, D.C., reaches up to 107 feet (32.3 meters).
