I am not buying that the other dudes never visited the bunker, at least for curiosity's sake.

Bush would have gone in, but Cheney had already locked the door from the inside.

[Mik]

I couldn't care less if he did or didn't. It would have been the Secret service making that call anyway.

[jon-nyc]

Yeah, Mik, that would be the normal view.

I think if Trump hadn’t responded to the story with ‘no no no I was just inspecting it’ there would have been no comment.

It’s Trump’s blaring insecurities that are being mocked, not the fact that he was in the bunker.

[Horace]

jon, do you think Trump's insecurities stem from childhood trauma?

If Trump said "I was just inspecting it", then

1. He was taken to the bunker.
2. That decision is made by SS, not by the president, and it's the one area where a president cannot debate the issue. If the SS tells him he's going to the bunker, then he's going to the bunker.
3. Obviously "I was just inspecting it" was meant to make a joke about it.
4. Taking the joke seriously - even making this an issue at all, is proof the Left has no sense of humor, and there are no depths too low that they won't stoop to to toss rocks at Trump.

Excerpted from Quora:

"Yes, POTUS can absolutely supersede the authority of the U.S. Secret Service... and No, POTUS can absolutely not supersede the authority of the U.S. Secret Service.

Now, POTUS also appoints the Director of the United States Secret Service, as well as the Director's boss, the Secretary of Homeland Security. So, yes; Agent Average Joe could technically say to the most powerful political figure in the world, "Sorry Sir, it's too dangerous, you're not going in there...." but if POTUS decides that he'll be fine, then it is expected that the U.S. Secret Service quickly develop an alternate plan to keep him safe.... and they do....

There have been many, many times where there has been this kind of conflict, particularly between the security (USSS) and the public relations (White House Staff). If agents had their way, they would keep the guy in an impregnable fortress for the duration of his term. On the flip side, staffers only want their guy out meeting every voter, kissing every baby, shaking every hand. Ultimately, a happy medium is usually reached. Sometimes security wins, sometimes publicity wins, and sometimes it needs a tiebreaker in an argument."

Can you honestly blame the man with the treatment he has received?

[jon-nyc]

Yes I can. His nearly comic levels of insecurity predate any bad press he ever had.

President Trump did not suddenly change when he was elected president.

[jon-nyc]

Yeah think back to the first display of this as President - the reaction to the inaugural crowds.

Even many supporters were embarrassed by his behavior, hoping that once elected he would act, if not presidential, at least like an adult. Little did they know.

[Loki]

Is the Situation Room (of bin laden raid fame) different than the President Emergency Operations center? They are both below the White House.

Regardless it’s a funny meme.

Ok. Let's just say that's the case. He still has more accomplishments under his belt than any president in history, and at the moment seems to be the only thing standing between the people and an out of control Left. If Obama had been this successful you'd be bouncing off the rafters wanting to declare him god.

Thank God....

Maybe Trump went to the bunker where in privacy he is able "to do anything. Grab em by the pussy"

I sincerely hope he has changed.

[Larry]

John F. Kennedy grabbed them by the pussy but he was a Democrat, so we were told that didn't matter and we weren't supposed to talk about it because what he accomplished as president was all that mattered,

Bill Clinton grabbed them by the pussy but he's a Democrat so we were told that didn't matter and we weren't supposed to talk about it because what he accomplished as president was all that mattered.

Obama IS a pussy, but hes a democrat so we're not supposed to talk about it or ever mention the fact that he never accomplished anything other than turning our government into a banana republic., because he is the Messiah of the religion of Progressivism.

But Trump is a Republican, so even though all he did was talk about it, what he has accomplished as president doesn't matter, all that matters is that we keep talking about it.

Yes. When you say that Floyd, while dead, would be happy because employment numbers are good, you're trolling about half of the American public. So yeah it's his fault he's hated so much.
