Trump Brutally Mocked For Saying He Went To Bunker Just To Inspect It

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-bunker-excuse-twitter-mock_n_5ed7c613c5b67887de3fa952


The Secret Service rushed the president and his family to an underground bunker during anti-racist protests in Washington, D.C., last Friday night.

Although the Trump family was reportedly rattled by the incident, the president offered a different spin to Brian Kilmeade during a Fox News Radio interview on Wednesday.

“I was there for a tiny little short period of time,” Trump said, adding that “it was much more for an inspection.”

The president claimed that he’s visited the bunker two or three times “all for inspection.” He added, “Someday you may need it. ... I went down, I looked at it.”

Isn't it nice that Ed, who used to guard Jack Benny's vault, found another job?

Trump, sweating profusely and nervously looking out the widows at protesters...
Suddenly, he orders everyone to the bunker for safety...

Moving faster than ANYONE anticipated, Trump leaps to the front of the line of people retreating to the bunker...

Once there, Trump begins trying to use Eric as a battering ram to break into the secure area before Secret Service, winded and gasping for breath, catch up and inform him that the access is bio-metric and that he has to do a retinal scan to unlock the bunker...

At that exact moment, Trump demands that some one pluck out Eric's eyes to use to unlock the room, and do it faster!!!

Finally, after catching their breath and toddler-splaining the process of looking into the scanner and having HIS retina confirmed, he secret service succeed at opening the entry and getting Trumpy-Bear into his hidey-hole and secure bunker...


#BunkerBitch indeed!

He added that he's gone down to bunker total of "two and a half" times to "inspect."

I guess there could be some truth to it. His knees must be hurting something awful, though.

That excuse makes only sense if you believe that the President inspects some random rooms personally for no specific reason at all.
