1. And who do you think is paying for this wall?

No wonder Trump wants to hold his "victory party" at the White House. He has been responsible for so much hate, violence and mistrust in this country that he won't feel safe regardless the results Tuesday night.

[Iliyah]

4. Ditto . ..

and taxpayers is paying or Airforce One while he is campaigning but oh noes, no Aids package tho. Seeing federal troops at the WH is definitely his fault. He is the one alongwith with the republican party causing this.

Biden/Hariis for the win.

P.S. he is hunkering down while the rest of America who can't afford extra security is vulnerable, just like him leaving his cult after insane rallies out in the cold.

14. Mexico? n/t

15. You win the thread

[Mr. Ected]

17. He finally gets his wall! Another campaign promise delivered!

[DownriverDem]

27. I sure hope

the TV stations don't give him the air time to declare himself the winner.

2. geez

3. This is their tough guy?

Fence with the bunker. Somebody tell trump he can stay until January. We will not come and get him until then.

[jaxexpat]

5. Aw cumon'. Lets go now, he won't care, he never wanted the job in the first place.

[gab13by13]

12. I agree he never wanted to win,

but now his crimes have been exposed and he fears losing everything.

[LymphocyteLover]

6. Nothing says winning like barricading yourself in your compound

he's such utter cowardly inhuman scum

[ailsagirl]

7. I think we're the ones who need to be protected

[Klaralven]

8. Is the White House roof strong enough for Marine One?

[C_U_L8R]

9. Winners don't do that

This is like the last days of every despot ever. Right before the people toss him out. Even in losing, Trump is an overworn cliche.

[gab13by13]

10. DC is solidly blue,

the only reason that Trump would need another fence with more guards is if he plans to try to steal the election.

He will announce he is king and there will be no protesters at the White House because it will be fenced off.

States need to do what Rick Wilson suggests, ignore him and keep counting those votes.

I would not put it past him to then declare martial law. He is a caged animal. Hopefully he is going to lose in a landslide.

I am putting positive thoughts into the universe.

13. It looks like he's planning a coup.

[Larissa]

16. And in the end

Trump gets his wall after all.

[Buns_of_Fire]

18. I keep saying this isn't a problem.

Come January 20, we simply change the padlocks from the inside of the fence to the outside.

Presto. The new Washington D.C. Federal Prison for the Criminally Insane.

We'll build something better for Joe and future Presidents. The costs for fumigating this one would be much too high, anyway.

[malaise]

19. I agree but it does show his mindset

He's gonna lose and he knows it

[Buns_of_Fire]

20. Definitely. I keep seeing a Tony Montana finale ("Scarface").

Nah, just kidding. He'll have his two-month-long pity party, put on one of John Goodman's old dresses he used when playing Linda Tripp on SNL, and try to sneak on to one of the lifeboats paddling away.

And then we'll be stuck paying for having it fumigated anyway, damn him.

[George II]

28. I've mentioned that a dozen times over the last few weeks. Except instead of just him....

....it'll be him and Junior (who supplied the coke) sitting behind that desk.

[malaise]

31. And then we'll be stuck paying for having it fumigated anyway, damn him.

22. Turn off the electricity and water & cut-off food deliveries

We can make is a one-house shit hole country.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

21. Is the fence non-scalable from both sides?

Will it be turned to keep people out? Or to keep people in?

Either way, I hope that fence is gone Jan 22.

[DeminPennswoods]

23. Story is about the entire DC area

businesses boarding up windows, etc, in case of violence. The WH, Lafayette Park and the Elipse are all included in the "non-scalable" fenced in area.

[safeinOhio]

24. Not one penny for Mara Logo.

Let him spend the winter in DC and no golf.

[Ford_Prefect]

25. The last wall he had put up hasn't been very durable and was easily breached.

[33taw]

26. The press needs to not give them live coverage 24/7 or a live feed.

[bucolic_frolic]

29. Sounds like preparation for a seige if there ever was one

He will make this as embarrassing as possible, no?

If it's debtor-in-possession commander-in-chief occupying the White House, what forces would storm the palace to end the stalemate?

[dalton99a]

30. Throw Him Out and Lock Him Up.

[ailsagirl]

32. So is this wall permanent??

Actually it's locking him IN instead of locking us OUT!!

He's certifiable

[Hassin Bin Sober]

33. So much winning

[Hermit-The-Prog]

34. The cowardly don may think this is Romania and he's Nicolae Ceausescu.

Just because he ignores the Constitution doesn't mean we will. Let the fool cower behind his security blanket. The guards can dry his tears and lead him to his cell after the inauguration.

[DFW]

36. He had better hope that security blanket is bullet-proof, in that case

Ceauşescu’s certainly was not.

[DFW]

35. You have to wonder if Republicans see the irony

An American president needing a wall and armed troops to protect him from Americans.

I would say he is thinking he’s King Louis XVI, except I’m sure the reference would mean absolutely nothing to him.

Maybe he can name his fortress “New East Berlin.”

[Hekate]

39. It's beyond disgusting

I remember when the Berlin Wall went up — I was 13 & visiting family friends in Southern California that summer. It was a symbol of all that was ugly, nasty, and sterile in the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It was a symbol of the threat that totalitarian regime posed to Europe and America. The memory is further deepened because the mom in that family originally came from Vienna, & while her family escaped during the Anschluss, they were separated and imprisoned in France for a number of years, & she had a few things to say while we watched events unfold on tv.

The US has gone from despising the Iron Curtain to JFK saying “Ich bin ein Berliner” in solidarity with East Berliners to Reagan intoning “Mr Gorbachev tear down this Wall” — to building partial border walls of our own and to this disgusting display, where this president promised to build an impermeable border wall of our own along our border with Mexico. He delights in erecting walls & fences inside US cities as well.

Something is seriously wrong with our own country that Trump’s base thinks this is a swell idea — not perceiving that they & all of us are being imprisoned inside our own borders just as much as brown people are allegedly being kept out.

Joe Biden is absolutely right to be talking about the Soul of America.

37. Bunker boy gonna hide till the Russian artillery closes in? The end is nigh, there is no escape

[Hekate]

38. He expects to host a party for 400 guests? What an attractive setting!
