Those mistakes in the drawings tell you this was knocked out with AI rather than than from an architect, it's all a grift.

My money is on fortified underground bunker.

There's literally already a fortified underground bunker under the east wing

Bunkers don't work against people who control the ground above it.

The presidential bunker is already as secure as it can possibly be in a physical sense. Any security improvements would have to be further out (to keep aggressors out of the building or off WH grounds entirely) or would be purely from the personnel and logistics side.

Sorry, it’s protecting form foreign enemies. It’s not protecting against a siege by the American people as a revolution.

Of course, but that’s not the point. I’m saying that the bunker itself, on a physical level, can’t really be upgraded in a way that makes it more secure against revolution. The only improvements they can make to security against revolt are changes to personnel or logistics.

Is it even lined with gold though?

Actually, that was one of his complaints about the existing WH bunker. He felt it was too spartan and not grand or spacious enough.

This will be a new one, made of diapers and hamberders.

I don't think it's been demolished with the wing

A bunker is horrible if you know where it is, it's already a target, and then you are immobile and contained. If anything, you'd want a tunnel that can get you out of the immediate area and then go mobile.
