Bunker Don's freaked. He's building new barriers around the White House, Ellipse, Lafayette Square

Geoff Bennett @GeoffRBennett
The White House on lockdown: A federal law enforcement source tells NBC that beginning tomorrow, crews will build a “non-scalable” fence to secure the WH complex, Ellipse and Lafayette Square.

250 National Guardsmen have been put on standby, reporting to Metro Police officials.

1. scared much

donnie boy????

[Renew Deal]

5. He doesn't want to hear the celebrations when he loses.

[Boogiemack]

32. Why? Does he think his supporters will storm the WH if he loses? Nt

[BobTheSubgenius]

50. No, he thinks he can make himself unremovable from 1600.

It's a little-boy fantasy.

[C Moon]

54. It's merely landslide protection.

[RockRaven]

2. This farce seems designed to GOTV amongst MAGAts who view themselves as under siege/victims

It is almost certainly cynical and stupid and without evidence-based justification.

[Hekate]

3. Bunker Boy, where ya gonna run to?

I thought you were expecting 400 grifter-guests the evening of November 3, Bunker Boy.

[Takket]

4. probably a good precaution........ if you plan on trying to steal an election

and are worried that a swarm of patriots are going to give you the Qaddafi treatment you deserve afterwards.

[groundloop]

27. Yep, exactly what I'm thinking (and hoping doesn't come to fruition)

[mountain grammy]

45. That's what came to my mind..

terrifying

[qazplm135]

6. trying to create a winning narrative

followed by crazy dangerous liberals storming the white house.

It's all part of the game they are trying to play.

[bdamomma]

9. Yes

that "radical left" is coming to get him, what total BS. We don't have guns.

[bigtree]

18. I have to believe

...to most folks this looks ridiculous.

I can't think of a more definitive way for the White House to demonstrate their weakness and fear of the American people.

[bdamomma]

61. what's next a

moat with alligators in it??? Now who's the prisoner??

[Under The Radar]

7. There are 5 million people in the DC Metropolitan area

Do you think that 250 national guardsmen will be enough if even 10% of them get pissed enough?

[Blue Owl]

8. Go fuck yourself Donny

n/t

[VOX]

10. More taxpayer money to secure Shitler's bunker.

Is he expecting a siege?

[NBachers]

11. They're coming to get you, Donald!

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Any particular reason this time??

[world wide wally]

44. Inspection time again

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. Makes him look weak.

Obama didn't do it in 2012. Scardy cat.

[AnnaLee]

14. Is he jealous of Biden getting more attacks that he is?

So he, again, is making up an invisible, as yet unknown, threat?

[carpetbagger]

15. Joe will need that post-fumigation

In the meantime, it gives George Wallace something to keep himself occupied with.

[regnaD kciN]

16. I'm reminded of Doonesbury in the Nixon years...

...when Trudeau pictured the embattled president building a stone wall around the White House, completely blocking it from view.

After Nixon’s resignation, there was a wordless strip of the wall being dismantled.

[Tommymac]

43. I'll never forget The Dismantling.

I was in my early teens, and to this day I can rememeber opening up the comics and seeing that wall be taken down.

It is so real in my memory that sometimes I forget it was a comic strip and not watching it take place on 60 Minutes.

Garry Trudeau is a genius. Doonesbury has been my lifelong friend.

[Stinky The Clown]

49. I remember that series. Trudeau was always so on point.

[Stallion]

17. Let's Get Bunker Boy Trending!!!

[MustLoveBeagles]

21. Bunker Boy is scared shitless

Good

[burrowowl]

47. To the funny farm, i.e. Federal Prison!

[NoRoadUntravelled]

19. Is this another propaganda move like holding up a Bible in front of a church?

Are they trying to make it look like he's in danger from the leftist socialist Democrats ( which is everyone who doesn't vote for him)?

The "non-scalable" fence thing is kind of funny though. Hasn't worked out very well for the border fences, er walls.

[Codeine]

20. The best part about this

is knowing that President Biden will immediately order all these stupid barricades dismantled upon taking office.

[crickets]

26. Yes, and thank goodness.

It's ugly and paranoid the way he's barricaded the White House. The amount of money wasted on his silly walls...

[ancianita]

53. I hope there's dancing and cheering crowds when that happens.

[keithbvadu2]

22. Shouldn't the Trumpster caravans be impeding traffic on Pennsylvania Ave to protest this lockdown?

Shouldn't the Trumpster caravans be impeding traffic on Pennsylvania Ave to protest this lockdown?

[gordianot]

23. It took Hitler more than a decade and thousands of troops to create a personal bodyguard.

Trump could not create anything comparable. 250 NationalGuard where are your knuckle dragging private militia proud boys? Fact is the shit faced right wing militias would not survive a day with an actual National Guard unit with air and artillery support.

[Stallion]

25. The Worst Campaign in Modern American History ending in a Particularly Embarrassing Day

this has been an awful day for Trump--he is just looking pathetic

[blueinredohio]

24. Maybe its to keep anyone from removing him when he loses the election.

[demigoddess]

33. he is digging into his bunker.

[occupant]

62. Permaseal

Plenty of folks would offer their services to weld that bunker shut.

[soothsayer]

28. Is Mexico paying?

[nolabear]

29. That's not Third World Dictator-y at all.

Jesus, what a coward. He’s terrified of people and he knows losing power reveals him for the pitiful creature he is.

I cannot wait.

[llmart]

59. It's the same reason he decided to move to Mar a Loco when he's ousted.

He knows he won't be able to show his ugly mug in NYC after he's ousted and will be even more hated than he was prior to stealing our White House. Now he's just hated all over the country.

[VideoSteve]

30. Standing Down, Standing By, now Hiding Behind

Gee, could he just get the TrumpTrucks to block the roads?

[C_U_L8R]

31. Never go full Ceausescu

The end is nigh.

[DBoon]

34. If it is of the same quality as Trump's border wall

it will collapse before the election.

[Klaralven]

35. How about around the Trump hotel?

Now we know why he's spending election night in the White House and not at the victory party in his hotel.

[struggle4progress]

36. Q. What do you call Donald Trump behind a high wall, surrounded by armed guards?

A. A good start

[halobeam]

37. haha I was gonna say "home".. but a good start works! :)

[rocktivity]

38. It's to keep out the National Guard (if not the military)

at least until he's got his lawsuits filed


rocktivity

[AllaN01Bear]

39. joe biden to trump if he wins, trump , tear down this fence , this is the peoples house and not yrs

[Talitha]

40. Maybe Cheetolini found out what happened to Mussolini.

[PatrickforO]

41. Reminds me of the old Kinks song.

Here's a verse of it.

Doctor, Doctor, help me please, I know you'll understand
There's a time device inside of me, I'm a self-destructing man
There's a red under my bed
And there's a little green man in my head
And he said, you're not going crazy, you're just a bit sad
'Cause there's a man in ya, gnawing ya, tearing ya into two
Silly boy, ya self-destroyer
Paranoia, the destroyer
Self-destroyer, wreck your health
Destroy your friends, destroy yourself
The time device of self-destruction
Light the fuse and start eruption

[Illumination]

42. "They're coming to take him away HE HE HA HA to the funny farm where life is gay"...

[Mariana]

46. This explains why he cancelled the election night do at his hotel.

He's skeered and he wants to be close to his bunker.

[bringthePaine]

48. anyone flashing on Kevin Bacon's "REMAIN CALM! Alll is well!" in the Animal House stampede?

[Baclava]

51. Somebody must have shown Donny those pics of how Mussolini ended up, hanging by his heels

[burrowowl]

52. Has tRump out-onioned the Onion again?

[C Moon]

55. Someone should build a larger than life fake guillotine, and make it visible from the Whitehouse.

[NoMoreRepugs]

56. Please tell me "BunkerBoy" is trending.

[KPN]

57. Well, he said he was going to build a wall. ...

I heard Mexico is actually paying for it — so he doesn’t get away.

[bigtree]

58. Joe should...

...Mr. president, tear that wall down!

[spanone]

60. paranoia strikes deep....
