People were peacefully exercising their 1st Amendment right.

The curfew deadline had not been reached. Trump did it for the most disengenuos photo op we've ever seen. Holding a Bible (upside down) that he's likely never read.

The message was a show of Presidential power. Trumpettes love over-compensation. Imagine the uproar had Obama done anything remotely like what Trump did yesterday.


I don't share many of RJ's views, but I share his take on this.

That staged photo op looked like something Mussolini would have orchestrated.

I also agree he probably hasn't put much time into reading the prop he held up for the shoot.


Trump's comments on leaving God out of it


"Late last year, Trump told Republican pollster and focus-group guru Frank Luntz that when the real-estate mogul has done something wrong, he tries to correct his error without getting God involved.

"I am not sure I have," Trump said when asked if he'd ever asked God for forgiveness. "I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don't think so," he said. "I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't."
