Trump Cabinet Members Allegedly Buying Nuclear Bunkers
As The Telegraph reports, Ron Hubbard, owner of Atlas Survival Shelters, reports being “inundated with calls” since the conflict erupted, with enquiries spiking “tenfold.”
The Texas-based company, which builds everything from $20,000 basic shelters to multimillion-dollar compounds, is reaping a harvest from the heightened tensions.
Hubbard revealed that two senior Trump Cabinet members are new customers.
“One of them texted me yesterday, asking me: ‘When will my bunker be ready?’” he said.
These bunkers boast hardened steel construction, armoured blast doors, air purification systems, and luxuries like cinemas, pools, and gun ranges—designed to withstand drone strikes or worse.
Yet Hubbard is blunt about limits:
“No bunker in the world is designed to withstand a bunker buster from an American bomber. I’m sorry you just can’t make a bunker strong enough.”
He added: “If the Americans want you dead, you’re dead. I don’t think any bunker in the world can protect you from an American that wants to kill you.”
The boom extends globally, with Hubbard’s new Dubai office fielding urgent requests after Iranian missiles hit the city.
“They thought they’d never see bombs fall. But now [they’re getting the s— bombed out of them],” he noted of local clients.
