United States
President, Donald Trump, is being derided over his brief stay in the White
House bunker.
The Presidential
Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) serves as a shelter and communications
center for sitting Presidents and others in case of an emergency.
It is five stories
into the ground, has air and food supply, and is sealed off from the aboveground
area to stave off terrorist or nuclear attack.
The Secret Service
had taken Trump to the PEOC as protesters against George Floyd’s death gathered
outside the official residence and workplace for U.S. President.
He was reportedly
there for a little under an hour before heading upstairs.
Reports say First
Lady Melania Trump and their son, Barron, were also taken there.
On Twitter, users
are taunting the American leader.
Anthony Scaramucci
(@Scaramucci), former White House Director of Communications, tweeted: “Trump
fired tear gas and rubber bullets on peaceful protestors so he could get a
photo opp in front a church that didn’t want him there, holding a Bible from
which he cannot name a single verse, all to prove he’s not a coward hiding in
his bunker again.”
@mrbenwexler:
“Leaders who have hidden in a bunker and gassed their own citizens include
Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump.”
@kaitlancollins):
President Trump was angered by coverage that he was rushed to the underground
bunker during protests Friday night and told aides he wanted to be seen outside
the White House gates, per @Kevinliptakcnn, leading in part to his walk to St.
John’s today (Monday).”
@amyfiscus: CNN
@kaitlancollins reporting that Trump walked to St. John’s church in part
because he was upset over coverage of him hiding in the White House bunker.
@DanSlott: The photo
op Trump wanted wasn’t the church. It was walking out the gates of the White
House. Why? People made fun of him being in a bunker and it hurt his ego.So he
gassed peaceful protestors to get them out of the way. So he could leave the
house and show he wasn’t scared.”
@JeremyMJordan: “Is
anyone else seriously worried after tonight that our November election may be
completely screwed? Imagine curfews and tanks and terror as Trump dictates from
his bunker that it’s too dangerous to have an election. That he will keep us
safe forever.”
@janisfrayer: “China’s
state media fixated on US protests. On social media, the hashtag #USRiots is at
1.76 billion ‘reads’ with 350,000+ discussions. Most comments criticize
President Trump for his bunker visit & for siding with #HongKong protests.”
There are massive
demonstrations – some violent or bloody – across America over Floyd’s demise.
Floyd died after
dismissed police officer, Derek Chauvin, had his knee on Floyd’s neck for 8
minutes and 46 seconds.
He has been charged
with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.
However, the family
and protesters want him and the three other officers at the scene charged with
first-degree murder.
