Hard to imagine any other president having the guts to show his face, after the MESS he has caused. Sickness, job losses, hungry lines of people,. Yes, hard to imagine any other president causing all those disasters, and having the GALL to show his face. He is surrounded by armed men, what is so brave about THAT? Did they have to get him out, so they could fumigate the Bunker?

Pootie selected him, because he couldn't contemplate the alternative. Meanwhile too many Americans sat back and allowed an obnoxious foreign dictator choose our pResident.

Just sayin'

President Clinton would have been on top of the situation. The people in the park would have been tourists.

Even if Mr. Floyd had been killed in the same way (which might not have happened without Trump's scrapping Obama's reform initiatives), she wouldn't have let things spiral out of control the way Lazy Boy did.

I’m very surprised that Scott Walker wasn’t right behind him in the photo since his head is stuck so far up Trump’s ass that he has to follow him everywhere.

He shook hands and actually talked with people. All with only a few Secret Service with him.

A video is on YouTube, can someone post it?

Obama and Biden truly enjoyed getting out like normal people, because they are normal people and interested in others.

I can't imagine any other modern day president walking on a path that was made by gassing people and shooting them with rubber bullets takes a lot of guts. What a tough guy.

I'm sure there were many GOPers ready to tweet "Look how brave he is!"

Too bad the optics don't support that message.

Be a shame if it became a chant of sorts...


A man got scared.
He went and hid.
When people laughed,
Here's what he did.
He tear gassed folks
Then walked around
And held a Bible upside down.

Said the tiny toadstool surrounded by Secret Service agents.

I wonder how much shit they injected him with so he could actually walk around for five minutes without the golf cart.

You've got too many people like scoot walker attempting to glorify trump as if he's a god. They want trump to believe he's the greatest president in the world. He posted this kiss-ass tweet to pump-trump-up!! Nowhere in his tweet did he mention that protesters were cleared from the area with teargas! Wow, trump was so brave. And you know the secret service was EVERYWHERE!!! The Secret service was airborne and on the ground. Believe me, he was protected! But these kiss ass conservative want the world to believe he just walked outside and just casually strolled to the church!

Captain, Why is it, do you suppose, that I can walk through this yard, surrounded by hate, and in total command?

Because you've got 15 gun turrets all around you that say you can.
