“It was a false report. I wasn’t down. I went down during the day, and I was there for a tiny, little, short period of time,” the president said.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday denied reports that he retreated to the underground bunker beneath the White House last Friday night as protests outside the executive mansion escalated, insisting he only visited the secure facility for a brief time during the day for the purposes of “inspection.”

“It was a false report. I wasn’t down. I went down during the day, and I was there for a tiny, little, short period of time. And it was much more for an inspection. There was no problem during the day,” TrumpThe president went on to argue that any “problems” posed by the protesters would have come “during the night, not during the day,” and said that although he “read about it like a big thing, it was never a problem. We never had a problem. Nobody ever came close to giving us a problem.

Trump also maintained that the Secret Service did not order him to the bunker, but merely “said it would be a good time to go down, take a look, because maybe some time you're going to need it.” Since assuming office in early 2017, Trump has entered the bunker roughly “2½” times, he said. Trump repeatedly emphasized that his most recent trip to the bunker lasted a “very, very short period of time,” and stressed to Kilmeade that it took place during daylight hours. “Brian, it was during the day. It wasn’t during the night. I think they reported during the night,” he said, adding: “There’s so much fake news going around, Brian. You have no idea.”

realDonaldTrump come on- get real. We all know your bone spurs were acting up. 🙄

Why cause he does not trust the black people who maintain the bunker , to cheap to have others inspect , ur running a country, not.

Tiny, short and little are imprecise, all about one's perspective. I understand that Trump disagrees with Stormy Daniels about her perspective. Although, I think his nose may be a little longer today.

is there anybody left believing anything he says?

The Secret Service dictates when your taken there....you people really must know that!

3½ years in the White House, and he just gets around to 'inspecting' the underground bunker on the same night there are demonstrations across the street ? Yeah.....we believe that one !! TrumpIsACoward
