Showing Original Post only (View all)So, Trump wants to take over D.C. and at least to me, it seems obvious why. [View all]
It's obvious he wants to increase and control the perimeter around the White House. Why? Because of the January 6th Insurrection, he knows how vulnerable it is to a massive assault.
And before you say, oh the Democrats would never be involved with a January 6th take over of a public building, my response: I don't think he's worried about the Democrats. I think he's worried about his MAGAs feeling betrayed by him on so many levels. And the Epstein files may set them off.
38% approval rating, and only 47% of Republicans would vote for him again if it turns out that he is in Epstein's pedo file as a customer or an accomplice.
He has a lot to be concerned about.

I honestly don't see why people are so hopeful that his approval has dropped...

I struggle to understand why it matters. He has the support of congress, what else does he need?

I think he's doing it to further test the waters of illegal military action on US soil to see what he can get away with.

Would Trump be capable of covering the White House entirely by an immense ugly mesh dome?

Everyone was wondering why he went up to do a field examination of the roof.
