According to Mr. Trump he only visited the White House 'bunker' for a tiny amount of time, and only for inspections.
Yes, that is correct, 'plural' inspections:
Donald Trump has claimed to have spent only a “tiny” amount of time in a reinforced security bunker under the White House as protesters clashed with Secret Service agents outside and has insisted his time there was for an “inspection”, not his own safety.
In an interview with Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on his radio show on Wednesday, Trump also claimed to have visited the bunker in the daytime, not after dark, when protesters and law enforcement officers clashed outside the executive mansion.
The New York Times first reported that Trump was taken to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center on Friday night, for about an hour. Other outlets, citing White House sources, confirmed it.
The protected space under the White House was used by Vice-President Dick Cheney on 11 September 2001, when authorities feared a plane might strike the building. It has since been reinforced.
Trump told Kilmeade: “I was there for a tiny, short little period of time” and said he had visited the bunker “two or three times, all for inspection”....

The Wikipedia entry on President Trump MAY have been written by Donald J. Trump
NVG--
If I remember correctly Mr. Bush the Younger was quetly reading 'The (Not My)Pet Goat' at the time...

It was a good day for an inspection. Not much else going on.
Lew--
'Two or three' inspections to be precise.
Perhaps there were concerns regarding the even more precise placement of the adderall prescription.
Or some such thing.

It would appear that Trump was NOT in the Bunker, but in The Situation Room, officially known as the John F. Kennedy Conference Room, and we all know what happened to J.F.K. and the Russian shooter

Surprising he could even make it to the bunker with those geriatric bone spurs!
If the “situation room” doesn’t have Wolfe Blitzer in it, it’s not a situation room.
Perhaps the spurs are in the shape of Mr. Blitzer's beard.
Or some such thing.
