With all the security in and around the WH my first thought upon hearing that turnip was whisked to a bunker is that he was hysterical and the SS thought it was the only way to calm him down.

Let me add. So much for his comment after Parkland, that he would have run into the building.

Too bad they didn’t lock him down there until after the election.

That protest was much scarier than Ground Zero on 9-11 where he heroically fought to help.

White House spokesperson Judd Deere would neither confirm nor deny whether Trump had taken shelter in the bunker.

Check the laundry bill, guaranteed there’s a line item for “soiled underwear”.

"The World is watching and laughing at you and Sleepy Joe. Is this what America wants? NO!!!

Wow, just wow. He’s our powerless, innocent bystander Preznit, with no role at all to play except soil himself in the WH bunker. I’m sure glad the World isn’t laughing at him!

While on the one hand I applaud the efforts of the protestors that made this possible. On the other hand, this is the President of the United States, do we want him in danger for his life? What precedent does this set for the future?

I’m sorry but this is unacceptable, the Secret Service failed to maintain a buffer zone. It never should have gotten to this point, regardless of who is president.

Did he suck his thumb down there? Did he cry? You’re finally there, Trump. The inevitable endpoint has been reached, and you’ve finally got mobs of enraged citizens howling for your blood. Way to go, genius and universal expert. Keep up the good work, asshole.

None of his proud boys showed up so he had to go to the bunker.

What is so amazing is he thinks Biden is the one that looks bad. The WH looney is on some kind of serious drugs.

Vintage cowardly Trump.
Run your mouth,Tweet, inflammatory statements then run and hide so others clean up your mess.
Once again:
Trump writes checks with his mouth that his body cannot cash.

Biden went out and talked to people in Wilmington, Delaware, and if you don’t know it the city is famous for its murder rate and general crimeyness. Whatever else you say about Joe, he’s no coward.

It is 8:00 AM in DC, and not a tweet yet from DiJiT. I bet he is thinking up a doozie as his first one today !

“the Secret Service grew alarmed at the hundreds of protesters near the White House, some of whom were throwing bricks at police officers guarding the building,”

I bet tRump begged to be taken to the bunker. The last person who was taken there was Cheney during 911 when planes were falling out of the sky.
tRump just demonstrated that when the going gets tough the cowardly gets going----TO THE BUNKER.

6 well-known ways the White House stays secure

1. 21-day advanced tour notice

2. Bulletproof windows

3. Infrared sensors

4. Surface-to-air missiles

5. Drones

6. The fence

Don’t know it but saw a photo of him kneeling down talking to a person with a young child. Oh, the humanity. I wasn’t sure after this long haul with tRump there was such a thing.
