Trump Breaks Up Peaceful Protest for Church Photo Op

[SunTrader]

This is equally nauseating, treating the flag like a 10 year old . . . . . . . others lap it up tho.

Trump Kiss and Caress an American Flag at CPAC: “I Love You, Baby”

In a fawning interview in Fox & Friends on Sunday morning, Kayleigh McEnany, the press secretary for Trump’s reelection campaign said Trump “Hugging the flag, kissing the flag, he’s just distinctly Americana and it’s something that Bernie Sanders will never have.”

Because although Bernie is a Socialist he's not a whore who will do anything for power and EEEEGO.

You're right, which is why nobody gives a shit what Antifa has to say while they are murdering people, burning down cities and destroying the very communities and people they claim to represent.

This antifa narrative is the same whammy as WMD repackaged.

You are being conned. Easily.

Antifa LMAO a bunch of tee shirt (went to a riot and all I got was this lousy Tee) wearing window smashers.

Now that SkinHead, Tiki Torch Carrying (nice Gilligan Island's touch), Locked and Loaded gang that was down in Charlottesville I'll get outta the way of.

State capitol police sure did, didn't they?

Don't follow orders - given multiple times by the secret service - then you quite rightfully suffer the consequences.

No, you have the right to ignore

Let's see how our first President, George Washington, dealt with protestors:

• Colonial military demanding pay after the Revolutionary war -- send the army to shoot them.
• Don't like a tax on Whiskey - send the army to shoot them.

As a bonus, let's see how President Hoover dealt with protestors:
WW1 protestors demanding pay (Bonus Army) - shoot them.

At this point, in context of U.S. history, Trump should be congratulated for his constraint.

So back to history, you first example is flawed as Washington was not president and it was military man against military man.

2nd example, whiskey tax, they raised a force to collect taxes but no conflict occurred, nobody got shot.

Going back that far is hopeless in any case as there was not a clear idea of police yet, everything was sorted with militia and army. The first police department was after 1840.

3rd example is at least in modernity but again, ex military men vs military and police. With all of 2 deaths day one and this shooting was not ordered by Hoover even if he did burn their camp tents afterwards.

And then we are back to 1878 when police existed as well was army and the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act

Which is the law that matters now and the one Trump has to have a way around, not in a single geographical location like Little Rock but on a national level..

“When the history of the Trump presidency is written, the clash with protesters that preceded President Trump’s walk across Lafayette Square may be remembered as one of its defining moments.”

The New York Times has the definitive account on how it came together.

What a clown

Police and members of the U.S. military were deployed to clear out a peaceful protest outside the White House so President Trump could walk to a church and hold up a Bible for photographers, CNN reports.

The Washington Post reports authorities used rubber bullets, flash bangs and tear gas to clear out the protesters.

A good leader is one who knows when to listen and when to shut up. Trump, with all his tweets, wants to be heard rather than to listen. His priority is more with opportunistic photo-ops than to be with people who are hurting. You don't need to be a liberal or a conservative to show empathy. Why is that so hard to understand?

Trump is a good leader. The photo-op was a nice thing.
We have different views, same as the people of this country.
