“There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World,” Mr. Trump said in a social media post.

With very good reason. It's such a stupid idea no else would even think of building something so stupid.

The NY Times - Trump Says His Contested Arch Would House Drones and Snipers

Over the past decade, Donald has progressed from being a repulsive, incompetent clown … he is now a frightened, aggressive, demented idiot with his finger on the nuclear button.

I just hope that he dies before I do. 😟

Wouldn't this stupid new structure - if it goes ahead - stocked with drones and ammunition and whatnot be a target for someone nefarious? I mean, if it's stocked with ammunition (of all things), surely it would be dangerous and a sitting duck target for someone to attack?

And over a stream of traffic, to boot 🤔

Yet another wonderful idea to (somehow) help with the cost of living, right? 🙄

He's musing about "blowing up the entire nation of Iran" again so there's that.

The NY Times - How President Trump Broke the Kennedy Center (unlocked link)

Internal emails and documents demonstrate the political capture of the institution ...

20 Sep 2026

A long illustrated article. Difficult to summarize, but worth reading.

extract:

Workers renovated Mr. Trump’s three theater boxes in the center, installing gold plumbing fixtures and tearing up newly laid tile whose color was not to the liking of the White House.

The lobby area outside the presidential box in July.

Whoever designed that made a heroic effort to make it acceptable to Trump's tastes whilst remaining just the right side of utterly hideous.

The Washington Post - The 5-Minute Fix: How the media is fighting Trump’s White House ban

today

Major TV networks halt video coverage of Trump over CNN ban

News organizations responded strenuously Monday to President Donald Trump’s decision to ban CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, filing a lawsuit in federal court and banding together to halt video coverage of the president until further notice.

In the suit filed in federal district court in Washington, CNN, MS NOW and Politico are alleging violations of news outlets’ First Amendment free press rights and Fifth Amendment due process.

They are requesting a federal judge hear the case on an expedited basis.

Soon after the lawsuit was announced, ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC said they would halt TV coverage of presidential events …

At last, a bit of pushback from the media. 🙄

This Proposed monstrosity would be less than a mile from the Pentagon, which would be a much better place to stockpile stuff...
The only reason he's saying this is to build it under the cloak of "national security"

The Media Did Something Important Today

Robert Reich, Sep 22, 2026

Everyone in the world knows how much Trump craves attention, especially televised attention.

So today’s TV blackout of his trip to the United Nations General Assembly must cause him some anguish. ...

He has no one to blame but himself. ...

The American public is ill-served by a megalomaniacal authoritarian in the White House who refuses to allow negative coverage.

But the solidarity of the media reveals a fundamental truth about this megalomaniac: The most successful way to respond to him is to unite against him.

Yep just like the new West Wing ball room extension and what's going under it. Again under the cloak of "national security" the cost has ballooned from $400m to $900m and could go as high as 1Billion.

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

The media should halt all coverage of Trump and associated presidential events until he leaves office - starve him of oxygen in that regard.

The majority of what news crews with their cameras and microphones gather from Trump's performances, is later found to be wrong or just plain untrue. Ditto with reporting many of his posts on Truth Social. Just look a the recent reflecting pool crap that came from him.

He complains about fake news media, because they are reporting facts that he doesn't want people to know, rather than report the nonsense he spouts.

The fact is, when the media reports what he says, the information reporting is accurate (what he says) but the content is fake, so in that way if the media report what he says they are actually reporting fake news that is originating from him.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

The cost of Defence electronics and hardware usually balloons, often due to specification drift, and a lot of it being one-off bespoke and very complicated stuff rather than off the shelf stuff obtainable at the local computer or hardware store. If the final cost is ever reported I would expect it to be extremely eye-watering. If it's truly National Security related the final cost will likely be classified.

So long as he gets his gaudy gold ballroom with a big sign with his name on it, I doubt Trump will give a fig what's under it. Ditto with the arch.
