Secret Service agents rushed President Donald Trump to a White House bunker on Friday night as hundreds of protesters gathered outside the executive mansion, some of them throwing rocks and tugging at police barricades.

Trump spent nearly an hour in the bunker, which was designed for use in emergencies like terrorist attacks, according to a Republican close to the White House who was not authorized to publicly discuss private matters and spoke on condition of anonymity. The account was confirmed by an administration official who also on condition of anonymity.

The abrupt decision by the agents underscored the rattled mood inside the White House, where the chants from protesters in Lafayette Park could be heard all weekend and Secret Service agents and law enforcement officers struggled to contain the crowds.

“Trump continued his effort to project strength, using a series of inflammatory tweets and delivering partisan attacks during a time of national crisis.”

By saying that the responsibility for the riots lies with the rioters.

We have reached a point now where enforcing the law and protecting the innocent is seen as racist.

Mr.. President. while we have some time, we’d like to show you the improvements we made to the bunker last week. Would you like to go take a look?

Lame Stream Media: Trump, shaking with fear rushed crying to the secure bunker screaming “Where’s Melaniaaaaaa.”

Mittens?

They said it was a Republican, so that rules out Mittens.

Enforcing the law and protecting the innocent was seen by the mass media and “opinion leaders” as “racist” since the 1960s—nothing new about that.

I judge people by the content of the character—and if some of the folks that flunk the test are black....tough.

If the POTUS had to be moved to the bunker because of Antifa’s violent ongoing coup attempt and violence against ordinary Americans - WHY IN THE HELL WASN’T OVERWHELMING MILITARY FORCE NOT USED TO PROTECT THE POTUS FROM THESE TERRORISTS?
It comes off as weakness on POTUS’s part and will only embolden Antifa and the DemonRats - swift, harsh action must be taken NOW to end this before it goes to far and Trump finds himself (and his family) in the shoes of Tsar Nicolas II as the Imperial family was held in Yekaterinburg.
