Trump builds 30 ft wall around himself. Bidens response: Fills it with water!

Its for the inauguration or whatever. Everyone needs to chill out on this stuff. I understand the paranoia though.
ayashi
Yea he kind of gave everyone PTSD, sadly this isn't even that far fetched
lilshebeastie
As someone with PTSD - yeah, sorta. Group trauma is a thing, living in survival mode for 4 years can mess you up... Be kind to each other.

I don’t think they are putting that up in Nov for Jan inauguration...
Previous inaugurations have seen the construction start early Fall numerous times.

Under normal circumstances, I would certainly think so. This are far, far from normal circumstances.
Uh no it is not. Believe whatever conspiracy theories you want. The facts remain unchanged.
Dude, it was a dark joke. That's it.
TrueSandwich
The facts are that Trump does not believe that he has lost and has hinted that he is going to have to be dragged out of the White House
And that has nothing to do with the stage/stands being built. There is no relation between the two.

TallgeeseIV
I'm only like 45 min away but I'm lazy. Anyone closer that can run out and check if this is accurate?
No the description is not accurate. The construction is accurate as it is the inauguration stage that is built EVERY 4 years. Essentially,
After the inauguration at the Capitol, the new president (or re-elected president) makes their way back to the north of the WH, goes on the
Stage (shown in OP's post being built) where media and others are present. Final remarks/whatever before walking into the WH from the stage
As the new/re-elected president. I wish people would stop spreading false info but people here are driven more by emotions than facts.
Onsvaltti
It's more fun to think that trump builds a wall around WH to keep the police away and refuses to leave.
WeaselBandit
I'm 3892 miles away, but sure, I can swing round.

I'm pretty sure it's not true. That doesn't look like any scaffolding I've ever seen, and who builds the scaffolding before anything else?

lightfoot2
Eh, ignore it. Just more fun for when the Marines roll him out.
SnickerMyKnickers
US military is pretty adamant about not getting involved in transitions of power. It looks bad. More likely would be secret service I think
thanatos777
I don't understand why people seem so confident about the military not letting this happen, or that it'll be fine if they're the ones 1/
that get rid of him. Countries where the military removes the leader aren't generally "fine" for at lest the next several years. 2/2
xj4low
Heard it should be National Park Service and officers.
86yourhopes
Yeah but it's also real cool of him to use tax payer money to build this shit cause you know he does.
TiredOfTheBS
Secret service*
tehranosaurusrex
No, Park police
n0gal
The military does not get involved in removing a president, legitimate or not. You you want a coup? Because that's how you get a coup. /
Xerxes4242
I mean if there's already a coup in progress, I'd rather they did get involved than let it happen.
Secret Service is more than capable of dragging an oversized cheeto out of the building.
BellerophonM
My understanding is that it'll be the US Capitol Police.
voidmain
Depend, when Biden becomes officially president, he is the general of all armies and can ask his troop to intervene in domestic terrorism
CommunCreator
No. For exactly the same reason that Trump shouldn’t ask them to deploy domestically. Let the FBI handle it, maybe the Nat’l Guard.
And if you think this is not gonna be needed, you are naive. The guy have been planting the seeds of civil war for months.
And he has an army of 70 millions brainwashed cultist to back him up
Neoeon
Replaces defense sec for a guy who will OK the insurrection act...rally for his supports to nationally march on the 14th, or so I just read,
I kinda want the Proud Boys to pull something; it would give the FBI justification to declare them a terrorist organization & round them up.

I doubt the joint Chiefs are likely to follow that order.
SlasherQuan
Yeah but cops and militia?
Toffeeaccident
Ah yes the battle of our lifetime, Gravy Seals against actual soldiers.
thelazyninja
I hope that is true. He could just keep firing them until he finds someone dumb/crazy/power-hungry enough.
In fact it wouldn't surprise me to find out they have their JAG corps looking for legal precedent for them to refuse.
DICCHEESE247
"defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" our oath is the precedent. Refuse unlawful orders
and a bigger wall...this sounds like a composite of "You want a fight?".
tpanyS
Thing is all of the branch heads have already largely stated politely they would not follow any such orders. A new SecDef won't change that
Corrodias
I don't think this wall will stop the national guard. They have explosives.
Let's see how that works out for him.
BL4UPUNKT
I don't care who he is, I personally don't want to be recieving end of a squad of any special forces coming to evict me.

Treat Biden for exactly who he is - a dutiful civil servant who's served his country for a lifetime. Expect him to do his job.
spookyu
It is entirely possible to respect and have esteem for a person, while also holding them to a standard. That is a tenant of leadership.
Leadership in the effective and altruistic sense is a two way street, not blind obedience or authoritarianism, it'll be an adjustment period
fessusIntellectiva
I believe he has a strict no malarkey policy...president worship would be malarkey.
Mou5e
The Biden administration needs to be pushed to get progressive things done, but we are grateful they're not an active threat to democracy.
anthrolover6
Yea but the republican owned senate is going to make that crazy difficult. The blame Biden every step of the way for "inaction".
It's alright to feel that relief. The contrast is startling not because Biden is especially good, but because Trump was so bad.
No, Biden will be walking from that stage into the WH. this is the construction of the stage for inauguration. Built every 4 years.
eggplant42
It seems a little early to build that though
Historically, construction starts early Fall for the majority of the other inaugurations. Construction takes time when on Gov't contracts.
dk570
Isn’t inauguration at the capital building?
Inauguration at Capitol, this is reviewing stage for right before new/re-elected presidents go into the WH
Virgozer
I want you to be right and I'm going to see if I can find any other pictures.
Google White House presidential reviewing stand. Hundreds of other pictures you can look at.
Thank you! I was having difficulty finding anything other than general construction shots! Sometimes my Google Fu sucks...
You're welcome. Just trying to make sure people know the facts and not some opinionated caption of a picture.
TheMadOnion
Assuming there's an inauguration of course. But you're probably right on this. But Trump has a way of making us wrong sadly
Either way, it is built whether someone is newly elected or re-elected.
Oh it is? I didn't know reelected presidents made speeches. I mean I've been alive long enough to know that I just don't remember.
Most recent example is when Obama was re-elected, he went through the whole inauguration at the Capitol, parade on Penn Ave, got to the
Every 4 years on inauguration day, the president walks from Penn Ave into the WH from a stage built months prior. This is that stage
Thanks for the real story. I hate Trump but the conspiracy theories are cringy
JustinWasHere
Thank you! This is believable, although i haven't fact checked it.
iliketolol
Having to watch this tangible reminder of his loss must drive him bonkers.
It'll be built regardless, even if he won.

Oh, hello there fellow Vermonter!
Thanks. Forgot to mention that the actual name for the one at the WH on inauguration day is called the Presidential reviewing stand.
I understand people hating Trump, but holy shit, please stop spreading false info.
ThisGuyPostingThings
They install the stage 2 months early? Why?
Cyranojoe
Building all this takes a lot of time. I imagine the holidays bite into it,too.
Not disputing your claim, just looking for a deeper explanation on the timing.
purpleveggie
I'm just guessing but my answer is snow. It snows quiet a bit from December to January.
Because construction for Gov't contracts is literally a 9-5. Factor in issues, equipment moving, safety inspections, etc.
And this must be completed way ahead of inauguration to ensure anything that can be a problem can be resolved. They're not going to finish

In fact it wouldn't surprise me to find out they have their JAG corps looking for legal precedent for them to refuse.
DICCHEESE247
"defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" our oath is the precedent. Refuse unlawful orders

and a bigger wall...this sounds like a composite of "You want a fight?".
tpanyS
Thing is all of the branch heads have already largely stated politely they would not follow any such orders. A new SecDef won't change that

I don't think this wall will stop the national guard. They have explosives.

Let's see how that works out for him.

This will just make Biden a hero when he has it pulled down.

Mr President, tear down that wall.

Beat me to it. Well done.

This incredibly obvious oversight by his team, is just another massive blunder to add to the pile

Funny enough, Reagan didn't want the wall to come down either.

Trump's already working on that, just, you know, the wrong part.

Mr. Trump. TEAR DOWN THAT WALL.

Exactly! Then the war ravaged and starving white house staff come out blinded by the sun to enjoy the prospering part of the US

he’s not Trump, he doesn’t want to be worshipped, just do the job for the people and that’s it

He has a weird cool uncle thing. Like he'll bring a toy everytime he visits but suffers from mild depression that he trys to hide. No

I love your message here, but Gabe makes a solid point
IAmJustHereForGoats
Treat Biden for exactly who he is - a dutiful civil servant who's served his country for a lifetime. Expect him to do his job.
spookyu
It is entirely possible to respect and have esteem for a person, while also holding them to a standard. That is a tenant of leadership.
spookyu
Leadership in the effective and altruistic sense is a two way street, not blind obedience or authoritarianism, it'll be an adjustment period

I believe he has a strict no malarkey policy...president worship would be malarkey.

The Biden administration needs to be pushed to get progressive things done, but we are grateful they're not an active threat to democracy.
anthrolover6
Yea but the republican owned senate is going to make that crazy difficult. The blame Biden every step of the way for "inaction".
Mou5e
It's alright to feel that relief. The contrast is startling not because Biden is especially good, but because Trump was so bad.
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
No, Biden will be walking from that stage into the WH. this is the construction of the stage for inauguration. Built every 4 years.
eggplant42
It seems a little early to build that though
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
Historically, construction starts early Fall for the majority of the other inaugurations. Construction takes time when on Gov't contracts.
dk570
Isn’t inauguration at the capital building?
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
Inauguration at Capitol, this is reviewing stage for right before new/re-elected presidents go into the WH
Virgozer
I want you to be right and I'm going to see if I can find any other pictures.
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
Google White House presidential reviewing stand. Hundreds of other pictures you can look at.
Virgozer
Thank you! I was having difficulty finding anything other than general construction shots! Sometimes my Google Fu sucks...
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
You're welcome. Just trying to make sure people know the facts and not some opinionated caption of a picture.
TheMadOnion
Assuming there's an inauguration of course. But you're probably right on this. But Trump has a way of making us wrong sadly
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
Either way, it is built whether someone is newly elected or re-elected.
TheMadOnion
Oh it is? I didn't know reelected presidents made speeches. I mean I've been alive long enough to know that I just don't remember.
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
Most recent example is when Obama was re-elected, he went through the whole inauguration at the Capitol, parade on Penn Ave, got to the
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
Every 4 years on inauguration day, the president walks from Penn Ave into the WH from a stage built months prior. This is that stage
zenabel
Thanks for the real story. I hate Trump but the conspiracy theories are cringy
JustinWasHere
Thank you! This is believable, although i haven't fact checked it.
iliketolol
Having to watch this tangible reminder of his loss must drive him bonkers.
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
It'll be built regardless, even if he won.
fudruckers
Nah he just keeps telling himself he'll use it after the lawsuits steal him the election.

Oh, hello there fellow Vermonter!
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
Thanks. Forgot to mention that the actual name for the one at the WH on inauguration day is called the Presidential reviewing stand.
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
I understand people hating Trump, but holy shit, please stop spreading false info.
ThisGuyPostingThings
They install the stage 2 months early? Why?
Cyranojoe
Building all this takes a lot of time. I imagine the holidays bite into it,too.
ThisGuyPostingThings
Not disputing your claim, just looking for a deeper explanation on the timing.
purpleveggie
I'm just guessing but my answer is snow. It snows quiet a bit from December to January.
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
Because construction for Gov't contracts is literally a 9-5. Factor in issues, equipment moving, safety inspections, etc.
IwillrateyourDeckBobandVagenePics
And this must be completed way ahead of inauguration to ensure anything that can be a problem can be resolved. They're not going to finish
