After Donald Trump hid, sorry, inspected the White House bunker a few days ago, they’re now putting up a whole load more fencing around the White House perimeter, it’s been reported.

It comes, of course, in the wake of the on-going demonstrations around the US following the death in policy custody of George Floyd.
