The White House lights being turned off is an apt metaphor for the way that Trump is running the government, generally. He simply lacks a clue about what is proper or how a real president would handle the situation. So he relies on instinct, his oft-touted instinct, I might add, with the result that he makes himself look like an even bigger fool. Beyond that, he exposes himself as the small, cowardly person that he is.
For the first time since 1889, the lights of the White House were turned off, The President Donald Trump takes refuge in the bunker, and fires are started in the surroundings. Explosions, protests and injuries reported in Washington, D.C.#BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/I6m9khHvlv

Lights out at #WhiteHouse is a powerful symbol. Total lack of leadership from @realDonaldTrump #BunkerTrump pic.twitter.com/pJTUYA3trT

This is what fascism is. The final respite for insecure, sad, pathetic men. Trump is a coward and a tiny, little man. He has created a cruel character, a bully persona, to hide this. But he’s a fraud. A paper tiger. Trump is so small and so insignificant.

We’ve been lied to. Fascism isn’t about strength, it’s about weakness. Fascism isn’t about ideals, it’s about personal protection. These bullies are pathetic. These warmongers are pitiable. It’s their weakness that defines them. Period.

Lights off?
Nobody home?It's probably what they do on Hallowe'en. What are they thinking…they're a bomb target? Or that the protestors are so stupid they can't find the White House in the dark?!? ?

I have never seen this in my entire life. I lived in DC and worked at a restaurant two blocks from here and rode my bike by the White House every night at around 2am. The lights were always on. This absolutely sums up this administration. Nobody’s home. https://t.co/Uk2rhxE1Wj pic.twitter.com/ACjZtaaRPR

Trump allowing the White House lights to be dimmed and his evacuation to the PEOC are acts of cowardice. He quakes and melts under pressure. He is falling apart. He is weak and derelict in his duty. https://t.co/e2bCk89Y0n

Either #BunkerBoy is getting cell service now, or he’s slithered out of the basement. Either way, he’s tweeting conspiracy theories again.
He’s not just a pitiful President, he’s a pathetic man.— Ken Olin (@kenolin1) June 1, 2020
Once more Trump displays he didn’t learn many of the lessons that most of us learned in chlldhood, i.e; pretending a problem doesn’t exist, doesn’t make it go away.
Yep. He is now being seen as the coward he is. Lights out, nobody home. This image of timid trump, will resonate. He always makes the wrong decisions.
It also helps to have contrasting images of Joe Biden, out and about and honestly connecting with people human-to-human. If this played correctly–and Biden actually LISTENS to good advice–November may have just been decided this weekend.
Bunker boy. Hahahahahaha! I hope that one sticks.
Contast Trump’s actions with Joe Biden who came out to meet with protesters and people outside of damaged businesses. As he did, someone could be heard pleading, “save us, please save us.”
This person speaks for us all.
Somewhere, I’m hearing Daffy Duck after a blow to the head saying “And the lights go out all over the world…” Trump has just shown he can neither run nor hide.
Or Porky Pig’s “Th Th Th That’s all folks!”
Gotta love classic Looney Toons, especially the Chuck Jones stuff!
The degree of naivete’ shown by the juvenile minds submitting these ‘comments’ is glaring. Maybe one day they will grow up….if the animals and thugs don’t get them first.
**Smile** Brave words, little boy. But it’s always easier to be brave when you can hide. Now run along…the grownups are talking.
I’m so sorry that you’re looking in a mirror and thinking it’s a window.
Also, that’s a sad, sad screen name you’ve chosen.
Originality isn’t exactly high. But you did get an extra point or two for the use of the word “naïveté”. You dont see that level of word usage too often from a Trump supporter. It’s too bad that in the context you use it you look pretty dumb. Just go back to the language you usually use, it will be just as effective.
This is a Democratic site. If you don’t share our views, don’t come here. Red State and Breitbart will welcome you with open arms.
This is not news. Trump hasn’t been home in the head since the 90’s.
But it’s obvious to everyone now that this is so.
I’m waiting for the political cartoons of tRumper hunkered in the bunker at the White House in his MAGA jammies and Kim Jong-un fuzzy slippers, bleary-eyed and sweating with his Twitter finger flying! ?
No doubt, a variant on that will happen this week.
That’s a creepy image of the White House, like something out of a horror movie. Oh, wait . . . .
Doesn’t it look like a movie where the vampires or zombies are ruling, something like that. Actually, stop to think about it, the rule of zombies would be a documentary in 2020.
Odd iosn’t it how someone who claimed that he’d run into a schoolroom to confront an armed ‘very fine person'(well a right winger can’t be a terrorist or killer – can he?) nut because some nasty people are protesting outside where he lives, he goes and hides in the cellar after turning the lights out so they can’t see him running
He is the weakest, most cowardly piece of trash I have ever seen in office.
Hiding under the ‘bed’ we get big talk from the big man, a couple hundred protesters outside, OUTSIDE the WH fence, and the tough guy that he is, goes and hides under the bed. PAB
And this morning, they put up a bigger fence around the WH! Who’s scared again?
Me thinks there’s a run on depends in the DC area, morbidly obese sized.
