Donald Trump is clearly very bothered by reports that he turned off all the lights in the White House then hid in an underground bunker as hundreds of protesters gathered outside the executive mansion over the weekend.
This morning, he called into FOX & Friends host Brian Kilmeade’s radio show to say he wasn’t hiding in the bunker, he was merely conducting an “inspection.”
Riiiiight.
“It was a false report,” Trump declared. “I wasn’t down!”

Then he immediately backtracked to say OK, OK, he was down there, but not for the reasons people think.
“I went down during the day and I was there for a tiny, little short period of time, and it was much more for an inspection. I’ve gone down two or three times, all for inspection.”
He babbled on, “I went down. I looked at it. It was during the day. It was not a problem. It was never a problem. We never had a problem.”
Trump says he went to the White House bunker for inspection:

After multiple media outlets reported that Trump had taken refuge in the bunker, which hadn’t been used since Dick Cheney took shelter there on 9/11, the hashtags #BunkerBoy and #BunkerBitch began trending on social media.
On Monday, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany pushed back when a reporter asked if Trump was hiding, saying she does “not agree” that he was “hiding.”

The makeup wearing, dyed hair, incontinent, little wimp, hid in a bunker and now cries that he didn’t.
Yep, it’s a Wednesday.

He’s a small hand little twerp – I hope the Pentagon ignores his orders if he ever launches the troops against the protesters.

Right up there with: ‘No Offishir, I wasn’t dwinking, I was taste testing…’
So in the middle of a pandemic with 106,000+ people dead, unemployment at 42 million+ and Racial Protests in the streets of almost every major American city, President Trump has time to inspect Bunkers? I’d find it only slightly more believable if he said he thought there was a McDonald’s down there.

And you know, it’s especially macabre that that Covid-19 death toll just keeps rising, by the thousands each day! Yet this sorry excuse for a president has decided to act as if it’s no longer a factor at all.
There were 100,000 people dead from Covid-19 last Thursday. As of today, there are 108,902 confirmed deaths, which is more than 1,000 per day since Thursday….

So what is the better moniker; Bone Spurs or Bunker Boy?

Lie, lie, lie, that is all Trump does!

1) He is a pathological liar, 2) he is a coward, and 3) happens to coincidentally go into the bunker to inspect when the White House is being overwhelmed with protesters. Yea, right. POS is still putting out the BS.
Mister P
That was a less than swift come back from a deranged man.
Consider This
His immediate intention was an insurrection inspection.
CityguyUSA
Why would you ever need to “inspect it” more than once? Someone coming in and secretly redecorating?
MISTERJETT
only a fool like him believes anything he says. how does he think up the most unbelievable lies? he has zero credibility. none!!!!!
michel_banen
Trump is never wrong, always the best, never apologises and that’s all pretty easy if you believe your own lies in your own reality. He’s always so perfect. It’s the world that is always wrong. How did this lunatic get elected ? By a zillion other lunatics…. hope they are smarter next november.

Donald J. Trump is a racist and a coward.
Trump visited the bunker because he was mortified of the protesters and wanted to know there was a safe place he could scurry off to.
