Big angry crowd, hiding in a bunker while tweeting inflammatory messages at them.

"Demonstrations have broken out in at least 75 cities in recent days, with governors and mayors deploying the National Guard or imposing curfews on a scale not seen since the aftermath of the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968."

Fake news.

So you don't think any president, politics aside, with serious rioting going on, including burning churches near the White House, wouldn't be (shouldn't be) whisked by his Secret Service people to some place of known safety?

I believe the point here is that _this_ particular president is hiding from violent mobs that he has had a large part in creating.

It's akin to the school bully that teases other kids and hides behind his parents when confronted.
