http://www.mypalmbeachpost.com/news/local/little-known-feature-trump-mar-lago-bomb-shelters/I25RcSq5vlPHShk8lul7AM/amp.html...."Hidden inside the hedges bordering President Donald Trumps Mar-a-Lago estate, the shelters now could provide an added sense of security for cabinet members and international leaders joining the president on his Palm Beach weekends.
.......
The bomb shelters are no secret: Cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post, who built Mar-a-Lago in 1927, had the bomb shelters installed during the Korean War. They were mentioned in nearly every Palm Beach Post report on the sale of Mar-a-Lago to Trump in the mid-1980s. And Trump has occasionally spoken of them since.
In a 2007 Esquire profile, then-businessman Trump told writer Tom Junod that three of his properties are equipped with bunkers Mar-a-Lago, Trump International Golf Club in suburban West Palm Beach and Trumps estate in Westchester, New York. The bomb shelter at the golf course now serves a different purpose.
........
Trump also has access to another bomb shelter in Palm Beach County, one built for President John F. Kennedy to protect him from nuclear fallout should a missile have hit during one of Kennedys visits to his familys compound in Palm Beach. That bunker, squirreled away in the scrub on Peanut Island just north of West Palm Beach in the Intracoastal Waterway, now is open for tours."

It probably stinks like crap. Good enough for Trump.
