President will speak outside on south lawn. Won’t there be loud protesters nearby? This worries me.

Is Lafayette Park on the north side of the White House, or the south?

I’m sure they have every contingency figured out.

Don’t worry, the Secret Service will have a wide perimeter set up to keep protesters away.

Nah!! He had the 4th of July program there, and nobody was anywhere near it. He had flyovers and everything, and people were seated at tables on the lawn.

I have faith in the Secret Service.

“Nah!! He had the 4th of July program there, and nobody was anywhere near it. He had flyovers and everything, and people were seated at tables on the lawn.”

You are right and it would be great to see military flyovers during his speech this evening.

For legitimate security reasons, protestors will be kept at a distance, but I suspect not so far as to be unheard. If so, Trump can play off against them — and likely to funny and devastating effect.

Gee, I was thinking the same thing this morning. I sure hope they have figured that out.

Grab your balls off the floor. President Trump will be fine.

If Melania can do it live two nights ago, I think Donald can probably handle it—unless you think he lost his nuts, as well.

Notice that your map link already has the “Black Lives Matter” name for the stretch of 16th street immediately north of Lafayette Square.

You can bet they will be desperate to disrupt the President. If even one screamer can be heard for one second it would be a huge victory for them. I have confidence Secret Service is ready.

Lol

Every time I’ve worried about something regarding Trump he has come out of it shining.

I’m the one who’s a mess :-) I will trust Trump to do his thing and work on my own problems :-)

Like getting my many elderly aumts to the voting booth on election day...

Without them driving me to a nervous breakdown :-)

Trump does everything for us. All he is asking of us is that we vote

I’m pretty sure that E street behind the South Lawn is closed. I don’t think any protestors can get within 800 feet of the point at which the President will be speaking. They can shout all they want.

I’m sure they have background noise neutralizing equipment readily available.
