#1 Any bets on them trying to remove him by force? The civil war will truly kick off in earnest then.

#2 'It's a sad commentary that the [White] House and its inhabitants have to be walled off,' District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser told reporters at a press conference on Thursday.'We should want the White House to be opened up.'

Bitch, you'd bloody love for the White House to be opened up tonight, wouldn't you? So the insurrectionists can drag Trump out to the street and beat him? So they can burn the White House?

The fences and the federal law enforcement would not be necessary if you and your "police department" would do your jobs.

#3 'The president of the United States should not feel threatened by his or her own citizens.'

No. He shouldn't. But if he does he should take appropriate action.

This whole article is a pack of damn lies.

#7 Trump announced from the White House on Monday that if “a city or a state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them.”

#9 Regarding the tall black fences.
The White house should have Ha Ha Walls already with the area at the bottom of the wall filled with Century Plant or other really hostile spikey plants. The top of the Ha Ha should thick metal walls that normally lay down to allow a beautiful view but which could be lifted up to form a 10 foot metal wall at a moments notice. The combo of Ha Ha and wall would be extremely difficult if not impossible to cross but be beautiful when the wall is not deployed.

This should all be supplemented with extremely powerful spotlights that can be blasted at protesters making it uncomfortable for them to look towards the white house. Such lights should have bullet proof glass so they can't be shot out, and should be accompanied by fans to blow away any smoke or gasses the idiot protestors might toss.

This should have been done in the 70s under the name of beautifying hte white house by removing the unsightly fence.

#11 Hopefully. Build the defenses correctly and a dozen secret service could hold off an army, and it'd look nice the rest of the time.
