Donald Trump just said that Barack and Michelle Obama have a wall around their house and America needs one too albeit “slightly larger.”
Trump tweeted, “President and Mrs. Obama built/has a ten foot Wall around their D.C. mansion/compound. I agree, totally necessary for their safety and security. The U.S. needs the same thing, slightly larger version!”

The Obamas did add a small wall around their home in Washington DC because he was THE PRESIDENT. The Obamas need security. One of the reasons is because of all the right-wing crazies looking to hurt the former president.
In her memoir “Becoming”, Michelle Obama mentioned this fact and said she will “never forgive” Trump for the “xenophobic” claims that her husband was not actually born in America.
“The whole thing was crazy and mean-spirited, of course, its underlying bigotry and xenophobia hardly concealed,” the former first lady writes. “But it was also dangerous, deliberately meant to stir up the wingnuts and kooks.”
“What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington? What if that person went looking for our girls? Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family’s safety at risk. And for this I’d never forgive him,” she continues.
TMZ first reported two years ago that the former first family had obtained permits for additional security at their D.C. home. The structure, which in photos appears to be similar to a security fence but made of brick, was reportedly completed in 2017.

Twitter was not happy with Trump:
1. Drawing attention to their home isn't something USSS will love
2. The president's daughter and son-in-law live very close by.
3. Michelle Obama wrote in her book that Trump had put "my family's safety at risk. And for this I'd never forgive him." https://t.co/nTwHBmvDcC [4]— Mike Memoli (@mikememoli) December 30, 2018 [5]
You are your supporters are the reason they are unsafe. You literally stoked the racism and “birther-ism” against them. Please let’s increase #NASA [6] funding next cycle so we can launch you into the sun. https://t.co/bxoBmAnv9o [7]

Remember, as Trump tweets about the Obamas' home, that Michelle Obama wrote: "What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington? … Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family's safety at risk. And for this I'd never forgive him."

Maybe they wouldn't if some evil asshole didn't spread conspiracy theories about their religion and citizenship. https://t.co/uUCJLqTHP4 [10]
