Rile up the racists, kill protestors with virus - he sees nothing but win win since he doesn't give a damn about our cities or our people. TTT (tangerine traitor tot) and Toad will not let any changes be made if they can stop them and would do even if it was illegal. It's up to the governors to change the police hiring tactics for their state and the way the police are or usually are not held accountable for murdering unarmed AA.

Really, he was in the underground bunker. I wonder if they built one of those ramps for his golf cart? He probably has a Hoveround for his use inside the WH. Well cushioned, with drink holders and a tray for the front.

In this picture you can see similar buildings off to the left. I imagine the police lines are keeping people at maximum distance so this right now so this, at the moment, is as close as you can get to "outside the White House".



I imagine they purposely designed and landscaped it so the sight lines from the front on the ground are mostly clear for aesthetic purposes, but you can see the city starts up right again behind it.

As back and forth they are pacing.
And they cover their ears and try not to hear
With pillows of silk they're embracing.
And the crackling crowd is laughing out loud,
Peeking in at the target they're chasing.
Now trembling inside the ringing of revolution.
With compromise sway we give in half way
When we saw that rebellion was growing.
Now everything's lost as they kneel by the cross
Where the blood of christ is still flowing.
To late for their sorrow they've reached their tomorrow
And reaped the seed they were sowing.
Now harvested by the ringing of revolution...."

Now all he has to do is convince himself that they are protesting FOR him. 'Cause that's what protestors do, right, march in the streets to praise what a great job your administration is doing?
