Donald Trump said he wasn’t hiding in the bunker, he was inspecting it – 13 perfect takedowns
You’ll have probably read how Donald Trump took to his bunker in the face of protests across the US – and close to the White House – following the death of African-American George Floyd in police custody.
Now the so-called president has come out and said he wasn’t hiding in the bunker (intended for use in the event of terrorist attacks, stuff like that) at all. No, he was inspecting it.
Trump tells Fox News radio he didn’t retreat into WH bunker for protection from potential intruders, but instead to examine the place.
“it was much more for the inspection,” Trump said

And if Trump was stung by the wave of ridicule that greeted him hiding in a bunker, it turns out he ain’t seen nothing yet.

To conclude …
He could have gone with "The Secret Service insisted that I go there for my safety," but no. He went with "I just decided after 3 and a half years to check it out during protests outside. Total coincidence." (GIF of rubbing eyes in existential pain) https://t.co/bYlprkv8rF
