"When I said, 'Go to the church,' I didn't know protesters or not, nobody tells me that. They say, yessir, we'll go to the church...When I went, I didn't say 'Oh, move them out.' I didn't know who was there. I figured I was going walk over the church, very nearby," Trump to Fox.

1. "It wasn't me? I didn't do it." Infantile little prick.

[C_U_L8R]

2. He is so full of shit.

[SoonerPride]

3. Bill Barr already fessed up he tear gassed paceful protestors.

on trump's orders

[soothsayer]

4. Nobody in this administration knows anything

Is that a good look?

That kind of excuse probably didn’t work at Nuremberg either.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Bullpucky. And why didn't he just cut through the park?

[Javaman]

6. if he's that stupid not to realize there were protesters out there...

then he's certainly too stupid to be prez.

if the orange asshole didn't know, why did he delay coming out?

he's so full of shit.

[Cracklin Charlie]

7. So, he didn't know that thousands of protesters had been outside his house for days?

That’s something a president should be able to observe.

He has admitted his incompetence, again.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. He couldn't see them from the bunker that he was inspecting

for a tiny, short little amount of time.

[Cracklin Charlie]

20. Because his eyes were full of big, wet "fear tears".

He’s such a weirdo.

Who would even try that bunker inspection nonsense?

Loser!

[pwb]

8. They think confusion helps them.

Big surprise coming for the pukes in 5 months.

[bamagal62]

9. What's scary is that 30% of the American

People will actually believe him. Stunning, really.

[Leghorn21]

10. You know, I can just baaaarrrely understand what he's saying here

And it’s a fkn struggle, rearranging this fucker’s words all the livelong day so they make a *teeny* bit of “sense”

ah well, poor me, nobody’s forcing me to try to understand this foul cretin

11. His Statement In The Rose Garden Was About 'Dominating Protesters'.....

He was all about sending out the U.S. military to end the protests. The last few days - all that was on were protest marches; rioting and burning.

Sure - he was just going for a stroll over to the church because that's what you do after coming out of hiding in a bunker because you feared for your life.

He didn't know - protesters or not - nobody I'm sure told him that.

What does he think we're all as stupid as he is?

[dalton99a]

13. Every time he says "Sir" you know it's sheer fiction

So predictable

[fleur-de-lisa]

14. Another bullshit "sir" story.

That fucking chicken wouldn't have dared to go outside until all the protesters were removed, and even then he wanted a heavily armed escort. What a coward!

[JHB]

15. Follow-up question you'll never hear from FOX...

...and, unfortunately, are unlikely to hear from other major media:

"Isn't that cause for concern? Your people not telling you things? After all, you're saying that you're being criticized for decisions they made without your approval? I mean, it makes you look like you're not in control of your own staff, much less the whole situation. Should we expect some dismissals this week?"

[tanyev]

16. Yes, because it's such a meaningful experience to go to a random church

you have no connections to and stand in front of the sign outdoors and hold up a Bible the wrong way for photos. Oh, and your people used tear gas to clear out the people actually connected to that church, who, I’m sure, would have been willing to talk to you if you had asked.

[mcar]

17. Dude doesn't walk anywhere

Let's remember that - he never, ever walks. He always has his full entourage of vehicles to go anywhere.

But we're supposed to believe he just decided to take a walk to the church, completely unaware of protesters in the park? He, who watches TV 24/7?

Sure.

[Doodley]

18. So, now he's a dementia patient who hasn't a clue what is going on around him.

[jayfish]

19. His Supporters Must Be In A Twist.

After saying how strong he was to remove the protesters turns out he knows nothing? Nahhh... Who am I kidding. They'll come up with some way to excuse this shite.

[Faux pas]

21. Yeah sure ya betcha

[Baitball Blogger]

22. Omigod. What a liar. If he was so innocent about using excessive force to

clear the path to the church, why does he now have troops ready to be deployed to every state in this nation?

[leftyladyfrommo]

23. Rewriting history again.

It didn't happen. No protesters out there. No priests shoved out of their own church. No guards shobong everyone back. No one got gassed. No flash grenades.
Didn't happen.

That church was private property. That was sacred space. They did not have permission to be there.

Fake news. Never happened.

[Solly Mack]

24. His excuse is ignorance? LMAO
