Sunny Hostin used Tuesday’s episode of “The View” to slam President Donald Trump after he revealed that the U.S. military looks to construct what he described as a “massive complex” under his proposed White House ballroom.
Hostin told her co-hosts that it’s “disconcerting” to see Trump publicly discuss the feature after he told reporters on Sunday that a “stupid lawsuit” filed against him to block the estimated $400 million project would reveal the information on the underground “shed” anyway.
“Why is there a bunker and are all the billionaires now, if something bad happens, going to — is the plan that all of them going [into] the bunker?” wondered Hostin of the proposed 90,000-square-foot ballroom.
Details have previously emerged on the so-called “underground bunker” following the widely criticized East Wing demolition last year.
Past administrations utilized the space for decades and, now, it would likely need to be rebuilt and fitted with new technology to equip it for “evolving threats” in the future, celebrity.land reported in January.
Trump later argued that a lawsuit filed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation caused “top secret” information on the project to leak, adding that stopping the construction at the time would be “devastating” to the country.
On Tuesday, Whoopi Goldberg and Sara Haines responded to Hostin by asking if she watched the Hulu series “Paradise,” a post-apocalyptic show that mostly takes place in a massive underground bunker.
Guest host Whitney Cummings chimed in to accuse Trump of telling America’s enemies where the next president will be hiding in a time of crisis.
She suggested that Trump take notes from Dwight D. Eisenhower, the last president to stay at the Greenbrier in West Virginia. The luxury resort is known for featuring a massive underground shelter, a feature kept under wraps before it was exposed by The Washington Post’s Ted Gup in a 1992 article.
“That is how an adult comports national security issues,” she said.
