9. It Was Meant For His Base....

With his poll numbers faltering he needs to do as much as possible to hold his base. Think about the image he wanted to project and how that image plays with his base.

Strength & Bravery - tough talk on how to deal with protesters; walking from the WH in the streets where the protesting was going on - his base loves his macho brave image; he can't let his base think he was cowering in his bunker; bad for his image

The Church & the Bible - plays to the Evangelicals; the photo op alone with the bible in front of the Church will show up in campaign commercials on up to the election.

Even if he knows that he can't order the U.S. Military into states - he makes it look like he can push the Blue State Govs' around.

His base will eat that up. This is all image building on his part.

His comments of yesterday were all coordinated with the police action that cleared the protesters prior to his walk to the Church for the photo op. Why do you think his comments were delayed. This was all choreographed and had to come off with perfect timing.

It was all staged. With Barr and the Repugs that surrounded him at the Church. This was a staged campaign event that looked like it was produced by Mark Burnett himself.
