    Dude what. Last presidency he got scared during the anti-abortion law protests of May 2019 and installed new fencing around the Whitehouse that are roughly twice as high.

    Then he had additional fencing and concrete barriers installed around the already huge fences during the BLM/George Floyd protests, and when one of those fences was partially pushed down (still leaving a 14 foot fence protecting the Whitehouse), he ran off and hid in a bunker.

    Then he spent the next weeks telling everyone he’s very brave and did not go to a bunker. While Whitehouse leakers confirmed he did.

    He’s repeatedly shown he’s a scared little piss-baby, especially of protesters.

      Trump’s first term was so much wilder than people remember. It drives me nuts every day.

      Bruh those fences weren’t fear, they were a publicity stunt and rile up the right… They know what they are doing and it’s basically a psychological war.

      They can just send a manipulated poor person to do their dirty work, including murder, without having anything to fear at all.

      Trump is just a puppet to larger organized crime that’s global. America is just being used as a tool in the lawless global game that is above the law.
