Concrete barriers are being erected to protect Trump Tower from car bombs
Trump Tower now requires security fit for a president-elect. And apparently that means concrete barriers — lots and lots of concrete barriers:
The barriers are meant to "stop vehicles from ramming into the location and blowing it up with explosives," an NYPD spokesman told Gothamist.
Isaac, 23, who works across the street from the Tower and declined to use his last name, added to Gothamist that while he often sees Donald Trump walking with his security, things have noticeably changed. "It's much, much different this time," Isaac said. "It usually is just federal agents in suits, but now we have counterterrorism agents."
