Seal off D.C. and believe one is safe?

Hardly.

He's always hovered around 40%. His base is going to do what they always do if they find out the allegations of sex crimes against young girls are valid. They are going to rationalize the behavior and give some justification why even a pedophile is preferable to a Dem. There is no bottom to the depravity they will accept from this man and his party.

His supporters only believe what they want to believe. And half of Congress is too cowardly to stand up to him and stop all this depravity.

Through thick or thin they will hang together. They would support a pedophile, while we couldn't even stay firm when a reliable and dependable Democratic president had one bad night.

not that I actually like it, its just the simple truth.

Once there is an actual race and they coalesce around whatever bullshit they spew about Hill/Joe/Kamala they will very quickly get back his fold because their entire existence is built around their glorious battle against the LIBERALS!

And, yes, they won't care one bit if there is actual video of him doing the deed with U18s.

Many of them know he's guilty but are OK with it. They come up with the most absurd excuses for the inexcusable.

My son and his family live there. We went to the Mall twice to go to museums. The area around the White House, blocks of it, is surrounded by 8 ft fencing. I've never seen anything like it.

In newsreels from authoritarian regimes.

TSF is truly trashing the place.

What a despicable human being he is.

Interesting!! 🤔

The other part is his giant ego and sense of entitlement. HE is king, and DC is HIS realm. He can pave over the Rose Garden, cover the Oval Office with tacky gold, and replace the East Wing with a royal ballroom. Anything in DC that offends him is a personal affront. He is entitled to change it.

take over of cities in his strategy to turn the country into a dictatorship.

Which one next? My guess is Chicago.

That’s what it is. He’s testing the waters for that.

True Americans revolting against an extreme Fascist government.

"strange bedfellows" types of action. Different reasons, same means to accomplish an end... to HIM and his rogue dictatorship.

But the fact is that Jan. 6, 2021 was an assault on the Capitol, which has a massive area around it, and it was very poorly defended (since nothing like Jan. 6 had ever happened, no one counted on it happening then. The White house has a far smaller perimeter, and has a massive defense system (obviously not visible to the casual visitor) in place. The team defending the White House is not the same as the Capitol Police. They will not hesitate to shoot uninvited intruders, no matter their number. It's a different job description.

I think Trump wants to take over D.C. simply in order to prevent embarrassing anti-Trump demonstrations, which will probably be quite plentiful the longer he hangs around. We shouldn't forget that his priorities and worries differ vastly from ours. His lawyers and Pam Bondi may be able to prevent him from seeing jail time, but they can't prevent the world press from reporting that a quarter million Americans turned out to protest their own head of state. It's hard for us to imagine that someone would worry more about embarrassment and bad PR than incarceration, but I think that is the mentality we are looking at.

It is plausible that those who were crazy enough to attack the Capitol would just as easily repeat the strategy, but target the White House. With Drones, high walls are no longer a deterrent.

Considering what he did to the Rose Garden, can anyone count it out?

Where he replied to reporters' questions with the word "missiles" and made a motion like a projectile firing from the roof of the structure. Considering what is observable about his behavior, statements and what comes to pass, I wonder what "missiles" signifies. Is that indicative of a deep-seated desire? Does he want a mini-Iron Dome around his palace?

Seems he is consolidating a base of operations for when he declares martial law for the nation and the GOP will go along with it.

At first I thought he was going to build a rooftop patio, but one that can transform into a bird's nest for gunners.

But he has his eyes on DC: population predominantly Black, with a Black mayor. He doesn’t hide his resentment of Black folks. He was probably thrilled to have beaten out Kamala…

New York City would be a massive undertaking due to the sheer numbers of residents there, how long-lasting and deep the hatred of Trump is there, plus the local culture that doesn't shy away from bristling and confrontation.

Baltimore would be easier to control for size reasons. And he named them when reeling off the list at the podium.

I also think Chicago is a prime candidate for numerous reasons. They are a historic Democratic stronghold. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has been effective at jabbing Trump and is helping stymie Trump's plans for Texas redistricting. Plus, Chicago is considered the home base of the Obamas. I think for all those reasons, it makes the Windy City a likely choice.

and the Obama living in his brain.

Right up the 190 in Bethesda, MD.

everything he does like this is simply to distract from the Epstein story.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, and I’m not saying that even if this is just for distraction that it’s not dangerous. I’m just commenting on what I think his true motive is. But who knows? He’s a psycho.

we should charge him rent comparable to a gated community in the swankiest of districts!

Now he's coming for the African-Americans.

We all know how this story will end....

I can only hope it backfires, literally.

Also, he is scared because his policies are not popular. Expanding the moat around the place formerly respected as the White House

A little surprised it hasn’t been taken down or maybe it was a screen capture.

The bit with the MAGA family on their porch as a flood of water hits them from supposedly non existent global warming was a highlight.

a gaudy palace for his personal use, isn't helping his support, either.

Trump's planning a D.C. campaign,
To tighten the White House domain.
Not Dems, but his base,
Could turn on his face,
If Epstein's files show him profane.

Old Trump wants to wall off D.C.,
Not from libs, but his own MAGA spree.
If the Epstein file drops,
Watch support do backflops—
He’ll be hiding behind a shrub tree!

Moron out of the whitehouse. Just as the Ukrainians did to their illigititmate, russian asset of a president.

probably because somebody on the GOP cocktail circuit got offended because a homeless guy was seen sleeping in a good neighborhood. Horrors!

So of course there will be lawsuits and he will lose them but in rhe meantime, US citizens who are the victims of Republican and "fiscal conservative" policies over the last 56 years will be made even more miserable.

Of course, the one I'm waiting for is when he decides to turn DC into a "white" city and jacks up property taxes on the east side of town to remove the "criminal element," ie anyone with dark skin.

Also a trial run for taking over other cities. He said there’s other cities he wants to do this in.
