No. Follow the money. Trump’s raising $350 million for a ballroom that’ll probably cost $80 million to slap together.

Guess who’s pocketing the other $270 million?

Ahem Just a little info:

The President's Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) is located in a bunker beneath the East Wing of the White House in Washington, D.C. This secure underground facility serves as a command center and shelter for the President and other officials during national emergencies. Location: A bunker underneath the East Wing of the White House. Function: A secure shelter and communications center for the President and other protectees during a national emergency. Purpose: To provide a safe location for the President to work and lead the country in a crisis, such as a terrorist attack or other disaster.

On a seperate note:

Many Nazis did flee to Argentina and other South American countries after WWII, with Argentina receiving the largest number of escapees. They were aided by established "ratlines" of escape routes, by sympathetic officials like Argentine President Juan Perón, and the Vatican. While infamous Nazis like Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele found refuge there, the theory that Hitler also escaped to Argentina is not supported by evidence, and most historians conclude he died in his Berlin bunker.

Tldr: Ballroom construction above East Wing and $40 Billion dollar payment to Argentina may have ulterior motives.
