WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump was furious when news got out last weekend that as protesters gathered outside the White House he had been rushed to an underground bunker. But now, as crowds keep coming back to demonstrate, the entire White House seems to be turning into one.
“Keep in mind that that’s the people’s house,” Mayor Muriel Bowser said this week even as she sent Trump a letter asking him to withdraw extra security forces from the streets. “It’s a sad commentary that the house and its inhabitants have to be walled off.” But while the demonstrations near the White House have been predominantly peaceful, especially as the week has progressed, Trump shows no discomfort with the increasing security. He has embraced the idea of military units in the streets of the capital, seeing it as a demonstration of strength and berating governors for not using the National Guard more in their states.
But another official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss security protocols, said there was no intention to make the new fencing and concrete barriers permanent and compared the expanded perimeter to the temporary measures taken when Pope Francis visited President Barack Obama in 2015. For now, at least, the new security perimeter has annexed Lafayette Square, a leafy landmark with its signature statue of Andrew Jackson on horseback just north of the White House, where for a couple of hundred years city residents, tourists, protesters and cranks have strolled, shouted and speechified.

The 'Them and Us' mentality is global. The only reason for it is fear. The fear of change is palpable. There is no place for Them. There is only Us, with universal social freedom and equality. We all live for one another Pres. realDonaldTrump
Have you seen Trump in his castle? He is a scared little rat and he keeps bringing in more and more troops for his own protection because he is afraid to face the people. He has alienated everybody with his hatred, and even Fox News can't protect him.
And it looks ridiculous ....
I hope President Biden will take those down
house of the antichrist
