Trump is playing with fire rather than leading

As political theater goes, President Trump’s stunt to clear peaceful demonstrators away from in front of the White House with overwhelming force to enable a photo-op was a disaster of incompetence and thoughtless public relations. Unfortunately, it also is an example of how this weak president plays with the fire of racism rather than provide leadership in a time of trouble.

The image of Trump holding up a Bible in front of a church to polish his image as a champion of Christianity plays his religious admirers for fools. As he posed by the church, he spoke not a word about faith, prayer or forgiveness. This is the same Trump who demanded that churches re-open in a pandemic, then went to the golf course on Sunday rather than attend church himself.

Trump and his handlers failed to consult the Episcopal Diocese of Washington before staging his act in front of historic St. John’s Episcopal Church across Lafayette Park from the White house. Right Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington, was outraged at Trump’s use of the church for purely partisan political theater.

CD is apparently too young, or too stupid, or both....to realize Reagan was elected CA Governor in 1966, and Nixon elected President in 1968 and in 1972 during riots, civil disorder.

The Law & Order both brought to office, worked, was conservativet then and now.

To say the opposite, was not conservative then and now.

Trump hate is stupid. Opposing order is stupid, and not conservative.

Is Trump hate also Chinese trolling, Antifa trolling, democrat trolling or disruption?

Given your posts, suggest you abstain from calling anyone else stupid!!!!!!!!!!
If you had the foggiest notion of what you're blathering on about, you would grasp
that principled conservatism has absolutely nothing to do w/politics, economics or religion.
From Plato to Burke and Kirk, it's simply precepts of behavior and sentiment, derived from the
Natural Law allowing Mankind and Society to survive and thrive.

I had to stop right there because that was where your train once again ran off the tracks.

Granted,you are the site authority on stupidity,but that was a step too far,even for you.

I would try to explain it to you,but I am old and sick,and probably have less than a decade to live,and there are better things to do with my remaining time.

Trump is "playing with fire" for invoking religion during a time of strife, but DC Mayor renames 16th Street "Black Lives Matter" and what is she playing with?

Looking at the media right now I am convinced that when the first national anthem is played at the at the first football game, every player, every coach and every fan will take a knee.  Maybe we will even stop standing at the national anthem and take a knee instead.  The times they are absurd.

I could us a lot of descriptors, Victor, but I am so exhausted.  We've given voice to the destructors over the preservers.

Well,it is important to be polite.

You don't want the globalist traitors who are our enemies to think we are rude,do you?
