    It’s not going to protect him if he loses all support and an angry mob violently forces their way onto the property, but it will probably be where he hangs out while MAGA makes its final play for seizing full control of the rest of the government and openly suspending the old rule of law. Even if he has little to worry about, he’s a coward through and through.

      Using it that way is a really effective way to have somebody else take the coup out of his hands right when it succeeds. And a really ineffective way to protect against it failing.

      That said, this kind of stupidity is right in line of what I imagine him having :)

        I think his plan is to sit there with multiple unseverable secure control channels and custody of the nuclear arsenal, and hold the world hostage for as long as he needs to.

        The ultimate “taking my ball and going home,” where the ball is sized to Trump’s mental illness.
