Make him miserable in the Peoples' house.

He be hanging out there in NJ with limited Secret Service and security and he'd be in a vulnerable position should the Generals that have been speaking ill of him lately decided to do a palace coup.

I think he is freaked now and realizes that he has to stay in the WH if and as he feels threatened. I would think it would be harder to pull a palace coup at the WH. Witness the new fences and the military and other guards from border patrol and prisons that he's called up.

If he does leave the WH - watch for him to demand a bigger contingent of security.

I think he's reverting to the cocoon of the WH and will be much more afraid to venture out now. Not fearing the protesters as much - but with his conspiratorial mind - a palace coup. The Generals are pissed as to what he's hinting at by invoking the military against the American People. I don't know how many friends he has at the Pentagon. I think he might have finally realized that he crossed the line.
