Trump Accuses Historic Preservation Group of Treason Over Security Building Suit
Trump says the National Trust for Historic Preservation revealed top-secret military features of a facility built to protect presidents and calls its lawsuit a threat to national security.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald Trump accused The National Trust for Historic Preservation of treason, saying the group revealed top-secret military features of a facility built to protect presidents.
The organization exposed classified details of an integrated security structure designed to shield current and future presidents, their families, staff and Cabinet members, Trump said in a post on truthsocial. He said military and Secret Service officers had shown the group’s leaders detailed plans and asked them not to file the suit.
“These are the TREASONISTS that brought the suit against the Military,” Trump wrote. He called the group’s name “fake” and argued that adding the words “in the United States” made it sound like a government agency, which he said it is not.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “These are the TREASONISTS that brought the suit against the Military. They revealed Top Military Secrets! “The National Trust for Historic Preservation” is a beautiful name, but even their name is fake because when they add the words “in the United States” to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, it makes it sound like a Governmental Agency, which it is not. In fact, the United States refused to continue funding it in 2005 because they strongly disagreed with their mission and objectives. They are very bad for our Country. They stop many projects that are worthy, and hurt many others. In this case, they are trying to stop one that is vital to our National Security, and the Safety of all Presidents of the United States, both current and future, their families, staff, and Cabinet members. They were asked by the United States Military not to bring this suit because of the Top Secret nature of the important facility being built. They were shown detailed plans and specifications of this knitted, unified, and cohesive structure by Top Officers and Leaders in both the Military and Secret Service. But this did not deter them because they suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, commonly referred to as TDS, as noted by Democrat Senator John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania. The lower section does not work without the upper section and, likewise, the upper section does not work without the lower. It is all one highly integrated unit. The then President of the National Trust, who brought the case, Carol Quillen, had no background in Historic Preservation, and has been replaced, unanimously, effective immediately. This is similar to her departure from Davidson College, where she was, likewise, dismissed, but the people of our Country are forced to live on with her bad decision, especially that of revealing to everyone, including our enemies throughout the World, the Top Secret Military features of the Building that are already built, and/or under construction, such as the DronePort, which occupies the entire roof. There is absolutely no argument that a woman walking her dog in the vicinity of The White House has STANDING to stop such a desperately needed National Security structure for the people of the United States of America, as it will provide Presidents, current and future, a secure space to do their jobs, especially when she never saw the Building, because it had not risen, and she had no rendering, or pictures of the Building because they, also, were in the formative stages of production. This woman is not a “walker,” she is an activist, or serial plaintiff, who is involved in much other frivolous litigation throughout the City. In fact, whenever the National Trust files a lawsuit, she seems to be involved. So, she walked at the site of the WHITE HOUSE, where there was no Building, and it bothered her, but she also walks in front of all of those other places, where she must also be bothered, and hence, additional court cases? She has no Clearances, or expertise whatsoever, in National Security, Defense, or required protections for the President. She has absolutely no standing to be involved in this case and, in fact, her name is not even mentioned as a plaintiff in the case! It is this kind of gross and flagrant abuse of our Courts that is exactly why Americans are losing faith in our System of Justice. It is so bad for our Country!

This is Trump’s 30th message released today, and the last post was 1 minute ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 18 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 21 of his 522 posts over the last 30 days classified as Legal posts.
Trump said the United States stopped funding The National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2005 because it disagreed with the group’s mission. He described the disputed structure as one integrated unit whose lower and upper sections cannot function apart, and he said the roof holds a feature he called a DronePort. He argued the suit threatens a project he called vital to the safety of all presidents, current and future, according to the Public Interest summary.
Much of Trump’s post targeted the litigation and the standing of those behind it. He named Carol Quillen as the National Trust president who brought the case, saying she had no background in historic preservation and had been replaced. He said a woman who walks her dog near The White House lacks standing because she never saw the building, had no rendering of it and is not named as a plaintiff. He described her as an activist and serial plaintiff rather than a walker.
Trump framed the dispute as a test of the courts, saying the abuse he described is why Americans are losing faith in the justice system. He tied the complaint to what he called Trump Derangement Syndrome, citing Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. He also referenced Quillen’s earlier departure from Davidson College.
A date for the next hearing or ruling in the case has not been announced.
