The secret service escorted him to the bunker and when he said no they ignored him. Its literally standard procedure to do this until the threat passes. The secret service doesn't care about politics. When they see a threat to the president they get him out of there.
What is he going to say "The secret service rushed me into the bunker before I could find out what was going on. As soon as I did find out, I ordered them to bring me out to tour the damage." I'm sure that would go over well.
He didn't say that. He said he "sometimes goes down there to inspect it for an hour or two, and then comes back out." He also said it was normal. He didn't say he was inspecting the bunker the news infered that from what he said.
Uh no. He never said he was touring it. He said that it was common to tour it. You are just taking that a step further. From what was implied.
Barr said the secret service told him to go to the bunker. What could have happened is that they have drills to rush him to the bunker and they acted like this was a drill and told him they needed to go to the bunker. Trump went with them thinking it was another tour.
FUNNY THAT REPUBLIKKKLANS THINK THERE IS NOTHING LOWER THAN SELF-QUARANTINING IN YOUR BASEMENT OR KNEELING IN PROTEST AGAINST RACISM WITH YOUR FACE PARTIALLY COVERED; TRY HIDING FIVE FLOORS UNDER YOUR BASEMENT COMPLETELY COVERED IN EARTH, BENEATH THOSE KNEELING PROTESTORS, COWERING IN YOUR BUNKER!
