Trump is full of himself and a tasteless decorator. I’m sure he sincerely wants a new ballroom. But is anyone double checking if he is making some kind of super bunker to hide in… in case his own nightmare of a revolt happens? Why demolish the whole East Wing?
🇺🇸 The White House East Wing – What’s Underneath
1. The Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC)
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.
-
It was famously used on September 11, 2001, when Vice President Dick Cheney and other senior officials were evacuated there.
2. Tunnels and Corridors
-
There are tunnels connecting the PEOC to other parts of the White House complex, including the West Wing and the Executive Residence.
-
Some of these passages are classified, but they are believed to allow secure movement between sections during emergencies.
3. Support Infrastructure
-
The area also houses mechanical, electrical, and communications systems.
-
There are security checkpoints and access points for Secret Service and White House Military Office personnel. — ChatGPT
