Trump visits historic DC church after protesters cleared with tear gas

President Trump walked on foot to visit the historic St. John’s Church near the White House after protesters were forcefully removed from Lafayette Park by law enforcement who fired tear gas into the crowd.

Trump visited the church after vowing in a Rose Garden address to mobilize the military to help quell protests across the country that broke out following the death of George Floyd.

Trump posed for photos in front of the church, which was set fire Sunday evening as violent protests raged in Washington, D.C., around the White House. Trump held up a bible while posing for pictures with aides including Attorney General William Barr, chief of staff Mark Meadows and White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.

“Greatest country in the world,” the president told reporters, adding that his administration was going to keep it “safe.”

That's a reality TV bible. I don't think the hollow demon can get much more mileage out of make believe now.

You really have to be totally gullible to take that picture to mean anything other than, look at me.

I’m surprised he didn’t burst into flames.

He didn't have permission to use the church for his pathetic little photo-op. The Bishop is furious.
