Trump declares himself a man of the people.

Donald J. Trump had ordered Attorney General William Barr to evict protesters from St. John's Church. The controversy started when the Washington, DC Metro Police Department, U.S. Park Police and U.S. Secret Service deployed tear gas near protesters a full hour before the curfew.

The launch of tear gas cleared a path for Trump, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to head to the church for a photo op.

Trump stood in front of the church holding a bible. He went to the church after he found out that protesters set fire to the historical church.

The move was condemned by the Democratic Party, faith leaders and some Republicans.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) condemned Trump.

"If Donald Trump wants to gas someone next time, start right here," Booker said, as he thumped his heart. "If he wants to shoot somebody with our federal officials, with rubber bullets, start right here. If he wants to trample them with horses while they peacefully assemble, come to this body."

Biden condemns Trump's stunt.

Booker spoke at a news conference shortly before Senate Democrats called for a vote on a resolution condemning Trump for "violating the constitutional rights of those peaceful protesters."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) blocked the resolution. McConnell said it failed to deal with the two issues Americans want addressed: racial justice and ending the riots.

Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee has spoke today condemning Trump's act.



Trump did the stunt as a ploy to white evangelical vote. Let's not even say white evangelical.

He also quickly responded to Biden's speech today.

My Admin has done more for the Black Community than any President since Abraham Lincoln. Passed Opportunity Zones with @SenatorTimScott, guaranteed funding for HBCU’s, School Choice, passed Criminal Justice Reform, lowest Black unemployment, poverty, and crime rates in history…

Sleepy Joe has been in politics for 40 years, and did nothing. Now he pretends to have the answers. He doesn’t even know the questions. Weakness will never beat anarchists, looters or thugs, and Joe has been politically weak all of his life. LAW & ORDER!

We should call it the religious right. Or perhaps the white identity movement. That's what it should be called because these are the folks who are pushing for staunch rules on abortion. They're the ones who support Israeli apartheid in the Gaza Strip and occupation in the West Bank.

They're the ones who think it's cool to see Black men and Latino men shot and killed by cops because in their minds, you "play stupid and you win stupid prizes."

Trump also called upon governors to make religious institutions essential. Churches, amusement parks, casinos and concerts are large gathering areas. They could spread COVID-19.

Trump rarely goes to church but he does consider himself a religious person. After all he reads "Two Corinthians."

We're closer to a police state.

Allegedly, White House adviser Hope Hicks, then former White House Communications Director may have played a role in the photo op.

Most Republicans with the execption of Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) have stayed silent on the matter.

Also the White House placed a eight foot fencing near Lafayette Park.

Trump and Melania went to the shrine of Pope John Paul II, a cardinalized saint who was influential leader of 20th Century conservatism.

Pres. Trump visits Saint John Paul II National Shrine to lay a wreath in honor of the former Pope's 100th birthday. It comes amid criticism for the president's photo op at St. John's Church yesterday, which involved breaking up a peaceful demonstration. https://t.co/bxvKH8mVVi pic.twitter.com/3ChCQqtXlv

The protests are expected to be large tonight.

The curfew will be activated in Washington, DC at 7pm. The mayor Muriel Bowser has ordered protesters and non-essential workers off the streets. The city exempted anyone living in the city who's going to cast their vote in today's mail-in primary.

The border wall got nothing on this fence that was placed near the White House.

The District of Columbia, is a federal district which co-exists with the city of Washington. The population of the federal district is 721,000 residents. The District of Columbia is similar to the U.S. Territories in federal representation. It has one U.S. Representative who is a non-voting delegate.

The residents of Washington, DC are allowed to vote in their primaries. They are allowed to vote in the Presidential Election thanks to the Twenty-Third Amendment of The U.S. Constitution. The district has three electoral votes and is the only non-state to have right to vote for president.

The U.S. territories of American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands can vote in their party primaries for the nominees for president and delegation but are not allowed to vote for president.

That issue will be brought to attention when Joe Biden is certified the nominee.
