Trump going back into the bunker, building an "unscalable wall" surrounding white house

The people the government pays to guard him because the power of the president transfers when Biden is sworn in. He can shit up the WH as much as he wants.
To me, this absolutely reads that they know he's going to lose the election, at which point he is absolutely going to call upon his supporters to commit violence against the "radical left for trying to cheat the election and steal away the country" and is taking all the precautions to prevent people from retaliating against him for those calls. They're readying the White House for a civil war, the only thing we don't know at this point is the ultimate scale of that conflict and how long it could last.
Material just writes itself for the next White House Down movie.
It's gonna be real awkward when, come January 20, Biden rolls onto the front lawn with a tank and they bust down the whitehouse door.
But if bunker bitch wants to stay in his bunker, go ahead. Cement that shit closed and let's go on with our lives.

Movies lied to me?
I thought it was the direct launch mechanism
The Trump admin is full of selfish asshole traitors, but they're not stupid. They know exactly what they're doing and the reaction they will get, but they won't care.
I'm pretty sure its just a phone the SoS uses that issues the strike to the Generals.
No. Trump is no Tony Montana. Don't get me wrong, Tony is a horrible human being, but Trump would never (spoiler for Scarface)Trump going out like this?
I can see him losing but just enough that everybody else can't say it was rigged (outside of Trump and his supporters)
If he were to actually openly steal the election through completely unprecedented Supreme Court decisions (and I personally think the margins will be far too large for that), no wall is going to keep hundreds of thousands of pissed off people out. He'd certainly never be able to leave.
Makes perfect sense. He's going to try to steal the election, and whether or not he succeeds, there will likely be protests.
When he loses, he's going to call for violence. So he'll need protection from the backlash.

Well...the "sunshine" in the statement is that like I said, we don't know what sort of duration his calls to action will really have. Anger from his supporters could peter out after a couple of days as it sinks in that the rest of the country isn't going to stand for their bullshit anymore...or his supporters in conjunction with sympathetic white supremacist police units continue to be as shitty and belligerent as possible for a long, long time. I have no read on their longevity in that sense.
The main point is just that they expect Democrats/leftists/antifa/whatever to try and attack him after election day, whether because he successfully cheats his way to a victory or loses and incites all those Proud Boys standing by for his order. I'd rather be prepared in understanding that potential and be pleasantly surprised than come away shocked that this result comes to blood.
It make sense if he has shenanigans planned for Tuesday night.
when your only strategy is to steal a close election via the courts but you "forgot" to do anything about the cops and the virus killing hundreds of thousands of people so you lose in a historic landslide
Biden has such a landslide against him that he doesnt even need key states to win, and even in most of those key states biden is posed to win. There's simply nothing trump can do no mattwr how much he claims fraudulent. So I doubt this is the reason
We're very 'fortunate' he's as stupid as he is. A competent person with the same goals and policies would be a swifter end to the country as we know it.
This. There is a huge difference between successfully stealing the election and remaining in power vs just refusing to concede and trying to spread FUD for two months or so before resigning so he can get Pence to pardon him. It will be the latter and the entire time he refuses to concede is what is going to spark the protests. He cannot under any circumstances admit defeat, his administration knows that, hence the fences to try to weather the storm.
Why Trump Can’t Afford to Lose
The President has survived one impeachment, twenty-six accusations of sexual misconduct, and an estimated four thousand lawsuits. What happens when his Presidential immunity is gone?
Very good reporting from Jane Mayer on the post-election prospects for a Trump that loses.
So what you are saying is that all the criminals could just be corralled in one night? Hmm...
He's extremely motivated to try, and the GOP sees no reason to commit to a peaceful transition of power. To them, there can be no legitimate Democratic victory.
I think it's far past time to stop being all "come on, Trump wouldn't do that!" and take a good hard look at what would stop him. Is it laws? Laws can be changed.
We need to stop acting like democratic backsliding is something that can't possibly happen in the US.
Yep, this feels like something totally regular and normal to be occurring a few days before the election.
