After cowering in the White House bunker didn’t work out for Trump, nor the ridiculous photo-op that followed it, the building itself is being surrounded by shabby fortifications: a fence to prevent protestors getting too close to the executive mansion.

“More fencing going up around the White House complex early this morning,” writes CNN’s Betsy Klein. “In addition to the new fencing, which now extends past the EEOB down 17th Street, @abdallahCNN reports that additional concrete barriers have been installed behind existing fencing at 17th and Pennsylvania Ave. NW.”
From Stonekettle: “We’ve reached the ‘Walling yourself off so enraged citizens don’t drag you out of the palace’ stage of Making America Great Again.”
The funny thing about Trump is that you know that he has asked for a moat. Less funny is that he doesn’t trust the Secret Service to keep him safe.
