The White House Bunker – Burning Issues – Free PDF Download

GEORGE FLOYD PROTESTS

•  The George Floyd protests is an ongoing series of protests, riots, and demonstrations against police brutality and racism in policing.
•  As of June 7, 2020, at least 20 people have died during the protests, of which 17 were due to gunshot wounds

DETAILS

•  Amid violent protests over the death of George Floyd across US cities, President Donald Trump spent nearly an hour in an underground bunker at the White House Friday night, when hundreds of protesters gathered outside the mansion

DETAILS

•  A bunker was originally constructed under the East Wing during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency in the wake of the Pearl Harbor attack and more recently the Presidential Emergency Operations Center was used during the 9/11 attacks.

DETAILS

• The bunker, also known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC), has been used on rare occasions to secure US Presidents in times of peril.

OTHER HIDEOUT CHAMBERS UNDER THE WHITE HOUSE

•  The mansion is reported to have a fivestoreyed underground chamber that is much larger than the PEOC. This facility was built under the North Lawn after the September 11 attacks, after national security experts recommended stronger measures to protect the president than the existing ones

WHY DID TRUMP DENY IT?

• Primarily because China has started targeting the U.S president over his bunker hiding spot
• This has strained the image of the U.S president to a large extent

CONCLUSION

•  Poor handling of U.S riots has resulted in China diverting public attention from Covid 19 crisis to the massive riots in U.S
• Chinese state media has started targeting Trump primarily because he kept calling Covid 19 a “China Virus”
