‘Scared bunker boy’ Trump mocked for ‘barricading himself inside’ the White House instead of traveling to Bedminster
President Donald Trump pulled out of spending the weekend at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. While local police said that there wasn’t any expectations of danger, Twitter users wondered if the reason was due to the optics or due to Trump’s fears from protesters.
Last Friday, Trump was rushed to the presidential bunker to protect him from a few hundred protesters the Secret Service was concerned were getting too close to the White House. In the days that followed the crowds got larger and windows were broken out of stores. It’s unclear if the Secret Service brought Trump to the bunker in the days that followed the first trip.
Trump told Fox News that he wasn’t hiding in the bunker, he was really just inspecting it.
Regardless of the reason for Trump canceling his golfing weekend, it earned him considerable mockery.
See the comments below:
Trump is barricading himself inside building a wall around the White House while sleeping in the bunker. This weekend he’ll head to his Bedminster, NJ property and charge it to the taxpayers.

I just heard Trump has cancelled his weekend golf trip to Bedminster.
Can we call him Nero yet?

Of course Trump won’t be going to Bedminster to play golf. He’ll be in his bunker in the White House shaking with fear. Besides, his new fence is working to keep him inside the perimeter. He won’t be going anywhere. #BunkerBoy #BunkerBabyTrump

It’s a shame Trump can’t go to Bedminster. I guess they didn’t have high enough fences or a secure enough bunker. The weasel is a little paranoid, not to diminish the actual pain he experiences when people call him nasty names. I hear he asked for an armor battalion for support. pic.twitter.com/UNjxvzoEPF

He’s just discovered that the fence is, er, locked from the outside.

Sounds like Trump has more bunker inspections to complete.

Is @realDonaldTrump staying home to attend Sunday church at St. John’s and taking “a bible” with him? @PressSec @KellyannePolls @MarkMeadows
— Petra Lewis (@LewisPetra) June 4, 2020
He better damn well go to a Sunday church service attended by the general public and pray (he better learn how to do so ASAP).

Another night inspecting the bunker. Don’t forget the Cheetos.

Someone is feeling grouchy now… with all that’s going on, he always has golf… but I guess not now…
— OMJean (@o_m_jeannie) June 4, 2020
He can golf locally. No sweat off his 244lb frame.

I bet Trump has the runs and can’t travel.

He’ll be in the bunker. #BunkerBoy #bunkerbitch
— sprngclnr2014 (@srshoaf) June 4, 2020
I guess they couldn’t build a bigger fence at Bedminster.

Trump caged and cowed. Finally. Keep up the pressure, America.
— ExpatSoutherner (@Tedards) June 4, 2020
He’s afraid to leave access to the bunker

Veteran Republican operative shames the GOP — and warns they won’t get rid of Trumpism ‘for at least a generation’
Stuart Stevens is a veteran Republican campaign operative from five presidential races. When he spoke to PBS's Judy Woodruff Wednesday, he lamented the GOP failed the moral test it was presented with Donald Trump.
"Well, I think there's been two strains in the party. Call it an Eisenhower strain going back to the '50s and a McCarthy strain," Stevens said, recalling when the GOP would talk about expanding their party and bringing in more African-American voters. "Now we don't even hear any talk anymore of a big tent. And we seem to have settled into a very comfortable white grievance identity."

Former Trump ambassador tells Rachel Maddow ‘it’s a big red flag’ that Trump is trying to hide investigation of Turnberry scam
Former acting ambassador to the U.K., Lewis Lukens, told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow that the inspector general raised questions to him and embassy staff in the U.K. about President Donald Trump's demand for the ambassador to lobby for the British Open to be hosted at Trump's golf course in Scotland.
According to Lukens, he told those questioning how to go about getting the British Open at Trump Turnberry, and Lukens said he was clear that it was "unethical" and "possibly illegal." Still, Trump's cronies persisted.
He explained that when the inspector general did the investigation they went back to Washington to write up the report and that it should have been released by now, but it obviously has not. Today, the acting IG, who took over just three months ago, abruptly resigned.
