Podcaster Suggests Trump’s New Ballroom Conceals Underground Bunker for Potential Coup

During a Sunday episode of MeidasTouch’s *The Weekend Show*, liberal podcaster Anthony Davis asserted that President Donald Trump is constructing a “secret underground bunker” beneath a newly announced ballroom. Davis described the addition of “an additional 100,000 square feet” as a means for Trump to “hunker down” and potentially refuse to leave the White House after the next election. He framed the claim as a serious national-security concern, asking listeners whether a coup might be imminent.

Davis referenced Trump’s 2024 victory speech in which the former president reportedly said he “shouldn’t have left” the White House. He linked the alleged bunker to broader public anxiety over rising gas prices, the ongoing conflict described as the “Iran war,” and a recent Supreme Court decision that declared race-based gerrymandering a violation of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. According to Davis, these factors have created a “panic” that fuels his speculation about a covert military installation beneath the ballroom.

Davis presented the ballroom as a “giant ballroom that will clearly never be used for balls,” alleging that it includes a hidden military facility designed to enable Trump to “squat” in the White House and bypass constitutional limits on executive power. He also argued that Trump has previously disregarded the constitutional requirement for congressional approval before engaging in war.

Clarke responded by emphasizing constitutional constraints on presidential tenure, stating that “the Constitution makes clear that his time is coming to an end.” She expressed hope that the courts would enforce the relevant constitutional provisions, thereby preventing any attempt by Trump to remain in power through unconventional means.

The episode framed Davis’s assertions as a “bizarre theory,” indicating that the claims lack corroborating evidence within the public record. Clarke’s remarks focused on legal mechanisms rather than the specific architectural details of the ballroom, suggesting a disconnect between the alleged physical infrastructure and the constitutional arguments she advanced. No official government source confirmed the existence of an underground bunker or any related security plan.
