Roads surrounding US President Donald Trump's residence were cordoned off with police tape this morning after a vehicle allegedly collided with the White House gates, reports the Mirror.

CBS correspondent Natalie Brand reported road closures and traffic disruption around the White House shortly before 7AM "due to Secret Service investigation".

She noted that a spokesperson confirmed "they're looking into a suspicious vehicle and says the driver has been detained and is being questioned."

Fellow CBS journalist Sara Cook stated that "a vehicle collided with the WH gate" prompting the Secret Service intervention.

Just a coincidence it was the Whitehouse. Nothing to see here.

I think it was Paul Fussell who illustrated the changes that all the wars and psychosis brought to Washington, DC over the years by pointing out at one time DC was a sleepy little southern town that rolled up the sidewalks at night.

During frequent but brief summertime thunderstorms, motorists would dart in and park under the handy White House Portico to get out of the rain for a few minutes.

Is it too much to expect the media to report the name, or even a photo, of the driver who crashed into the White House gates?

Ha. Coming soon.

Yesterday someone said the two guys with bombs are a sign for “If you see something say something.”

Secret Service agent: Boss. I think I just saw something.

Boss: What.

Agent: A maniac crashing a car into the White House.

Boss: I’m finishing my lunch right now. Call me back.

I count it as yet another assassination attempt until proven wrong.
