A sinkhole appeared on the White House’s North Lawn on Tuesday, which naturally spawned jokes on the internet.
The sinkhole, confirmed by groundskeepers, is just outside the office of White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley and the White House press briefing room.
The sinkhole, which according to reporters who have observed it appears to be growing, was roped off with cones and caution tape.

Trump is always talking about draining the swamp and now the swamp is trying to drain him.

Normally they dont appear unless the ground below has been disturbed.
Is someone digging tunnels under the Whitehouse? And if so, who?
