Perhaps it has been delayed, assuming Trum makes it to DC alive. An assumption which some of us aren’t willing to make. Another Hope and Change, yes.

Not quite what NY City values really mean, or really wanted? But yuge nonetheless?

Apache gunships have been shot down by AK-47 fire in Iraq and Afghanistan. One thing the ranch and bunker had in common were secure airstrips that Air Force One could take off from and land on. Putting a fleeing President on a vehicle that doesn’t even require an AA battery to take down would just make it even easier for the Lee Harvey Oswalds of the world.

Heh heh heh!

And about that “keep” when a high rise building is on fire helicopters can’t land on the roof to whisk people away to safety. Or have you forgotten 9/11/01?

So much for public service? ‘Splain that one, Bert? A Keep indeed; kings and nobility had castles with “keeps.” Spin spin spin and he isn’t even inaugurated yet.

With three floors to work through, one would need a combat regiment to take the place.

That and a week to carry off the assault.

Trump is obviously going to come and go via helicopter off of the roof as I expect a helipad will be installed for the President-elect in PDQ time. The Secret Service is going to demand it.

In military jargon, the tower is a ‘keep.’
