- Liberal podcaster Anthony Davis speculated that President Donald Trump is constructing a "massive complex" beneath a $400 million White House ballroom as a military installation, fearing he intends to use it to remain in power.
- Davis highlighted Trump's past regret about leaving the White House in 2021 and his recent comments about the military building a bunker with "high grade bulletproof glass" under the ballroom, which Davis believes will not be used for social events.
- Trump himself described the underground construction as a "shed" for military purposes, including defense against drones, while the administration previously stated the 90,000 square foot ballroom was intended to host large events for up to 650 people.
- Kristen Clarke, general counsel for the NAACP, expressed less concern about a potential "coup," asserting that the Constitution clearly limits presidential terms and she trusts the courts to uphold this provision.
- Trump has previously made unsubstantiated claims about the 2020 election being "stolen" and has joked about staying in office for "eight or nine years," prompting White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt to accuse the media of overreacting to his candid remarks.
