I almost can’t believe what I’m seeing. POTUS just walked out the front door of the White House and into Lafayette Square – the epicenter of the DC protests – to visit historic St. John’s Church, which was set on fire last night. pic.twitter.com/XueoF2RC6z

Trump makes brief visit to damaged St. John’s Church after address
By Washington Times, June 1, 2020
Following a Rose Garden address in which he said the country’s governors and mayors must enact their National Guards to break up riots and lawlessness, President Trump walked to nearby St. John’s Church for a photo opportunity.
Mr. Trump said at the end of his address that he was going to visit a place that was special to him.
National Guard troops cleared the area on H St. NW by Lafayette Square, where protesters had been demonstrating, before the president’s walk.
St. John’s Church caught on fire Sunday night as unrest led to some property damage. The church’s rector said most of the fire damage occurred in the building’s nursery. Construction workers boarded up the front doors and first-floor windows Monday afternoon.
Mr. Trump held up a Bible as he stood in front of the church, which every sitting president since James Madison has visited at least once for a service.
“We have a great country. That’s my thoughts,” Mr. Trump said, adding the country will rebound and come back “greater than ever before.”
National Guard troops attempted to break up demonstrations in the area after a 7 p.m curfew which District Mayor Muriel Bowser announced earlier in the day.

Whatever President Trump does to restore order will have the backing of all good people.
Normal citizens can see that the Democrat Party is a hostile political party with a lot of friends in low places.

Many Democrats are not aware that there is a very large block of Democrat Congress critters who call themselves Democrat Socialists. There are still more Democrats in Congress that espouse Socialism, but do not identify themselves with the Democrat Socialist block that get re-elected time after time. I believe the days of a conservative Democrat being able to get party backing for election or re-election are over. And I think Republicans and Independents should slip this truth into conversation with their Democratic Party friends and family.

ALL DEMOCRATS ARE NOW SOCIALISTS. Don’t fool yourself. Just because they claim otherwise, does not mean they aren’t. If they were not, DEMS WOULD OUST THEM!

SOME do not believe one way or another. THEY ARE JUST THERE TO STEAL, ROB, AND CONFISCATE OTHER PEOPLE’S PROPERTY AND TO DESTROY WHAT THEY CANNOT HAVE. THAT in itself IS ONE OF THE PUREST FORMS OF EVIL.

Yes. That illustrates the power of indoctrination (toxic education system) and propaganda (MSM) over many decades. This is why I always try to point out the long game in progress. Add the effects of a destructive monetary system and traitors with political power over time, and here we are.

I just heard an ED-OP that IMPLIED that President D. J. Trump was in hiding while the Domestic TERRORISTS were looting. I do not see these OPINION speakers out on the streets stopping the riots and looting. Where were they? HIDING inside of their gated protected enclosures.
I CANNOT hold anyone at fault for wanting to be safe from these DOMESTIC TERRORISTS who are ENCOURAGED by the “representatives” / NO I MEAN CONS who are occupying seats in the current CON-gress.

IF Trump was hiding, why would he walk to St. John’s Church? HE DID NOT HAVE TO DO THAT! I do not think he is afraid of anyone or anything EXCEPT GOD.
Liberals and Dems SHOULD BE VERY AFRAID OF GOD.
I believe that Trump IS THE LAST GOOD PRESIDENT WE WILL EVER HAVE. WHY?
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do
nothing.” —- Edmund Burke
So, if good Dems and good people do NOTHING to STOP this DOMESTIC TERRORISM of destruction and mayhem, then EVIL WILL TRIUMPH.
THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THESE EVIL PEOPLE IS TO:
1. VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE
2. PUT PEOPLE IN OFFICE THAT WILL CREATE NEW LAWS AGAINST DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY and if Mayors and Governors do nothing to enforce those new laws, THEN THEY GO TO JAIL FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.
I realize we have a BILL OF RIGHTS, but we also have to have GOOD LAWS THAT PROTECT GOOD PEOPLE AND THEIR LIVELIHOODS/HOMES/BUSINESSES.
Giving these cretons a pass, including allowing Mayors/Governors/Police whi do NOTHING but STAND DOWN, IS ALSO LAWLESSNESS. They are supposed to UPHOLD THE LAW. So, when they stand down, THEY ARE NOT UPHOLDING OR ENFORCING OUR LAWS.
THEN, they should be held ACCOUNTABLE!!!!!!

It appears not a single member of the Commiecrat leadership has condemned this rioting. In fact, they are encouraging it and cheering it along.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT LIBERALS AND DEMONRATS WANT! This is how they will TRY, once again, TO DESTROY PRESIDENT TRUMP. I am not falling for it. I WILL STILL VOTE FOR TRUMP.
IF good and wise Americans VOTE EVERY DEMONRAT OUT OF OFFICE, you wanna bet that THIS COUNTRY WILL AGAIN, PROSPER, AND BE THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD?? Of course it will and THAT is exactly what liberals and Dems DO NOT WANT.
TRUMP WANTS PROSPERITY.
Liberals/Dems want destruction and lawlessness.
TRUMP WANTS TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AND #1 AGAIN.
Liberals/Dems want America to be a 3rd-world country.
How do you destroy your enemy? DO THE OPPOSITE AS YOUR ENEMY WANTS.

Did he ever visit it before the photo op?

The rector (or whatever she is) of that church claimed it was only a photo op for the president. She sounded like a true Leftist as she mentioned his name with a snarl on her face. Next time, let that church burn.
