This Bishop is a joke. He should be ex-communicating Biden and Pelosi for trying to expand abortion rights, rather than being outraged at a President who holds the Bible incorrectly, but refuses to nationally fund any abortion.

Still waiting for the Guardian to condemn the looters.

Neither using bible, the situation is gonna change. Every day he is provoking the anger and hate people.

The Bible should have burst into flames in his hands. He's a disgrace!

From his bunker Neo-Fascist leader want to kill his own because they want justice.

What a f***ing animal.

the church deacon: 'last time he was in the church was March 17, 2019.' in the words of AOC: 'He holds that Bible like it's burning him'

same pair of hands that grabs pussy.

ALL Christian denominations came from the Catholic church.. ALL Christians follow the doctrines created by the Catholic church.. I wonder just how many of these rioters claim to be Christians? LAWLESSNESS BREEDS LAWLESSNESS.. WWJD? He wouldn't be Lawless! NO He was NOT a LIBERAL!

Too bad he can't fire the bishop.

T may declare the bishop as communist and terrorist.

What Trump did with the Bible in front of that church in DC is a complete and total sacrilege, an abomination!!

That erratic fellow is abusing his powers!!

Apparently it's a book, news to me as well

It was making a point that the national government had taken back control given how things have been allowed to get out of hand in some states. Pics of police busting their own cars, delivering bricks ... Media isn't all it seems

Great to see the church is focused on the real issues! Rather than it’s church being burned down

Resolutely support Trump! People who cannot distinguish between good and evil have no faith!

He should NEVER ever hold a bible. He preach more HATE than love.

I'm surprised that the Bible isn't burning his hands. Instead of just holding it, maybe he should crack it open and actually read it. Like love God with you whole heart and love thy neighbor. Hey, he's against most Americans.

I'm surprised he hasn't burst into flames handling a Bible like that after what he did.

It’s gonna be okay.

My hair’s dyed yellow gold My mind’s full of racist mold I have this Bible I like to hold

Cringeworthy and bizarre.. more of the same from this President.

No one cares what she thinks

Whatever.

About time he wore his KKK uniform.

Boo hoo

Why look for problems...why do keep trying to spread hatred and division

The anti George Washington “ I cannot tell the truth “.

What a con artist. He doesn't stand for ANYTHING that church believes in.

Typical of Trump all show!!. No substance Outrageous

Bishop does not criticize those burnt the church, but blame the one who support it.

Very good

The church is full of pedophiles raping children and THAT'S what enrages him?

PaedophileAndChief bunkerboy

He looks like he is trying to figure out the title of the book...

Riots*

Esa Iglesia fue usada antes x los violentos

Religious extremism... politicalbishop

The whole photo op was fucking bizarre

He holds it like he is reading the binding for the title of the book or 'WTF is this in my hand?'. Bibles don't have that!!! At least I have never seen one like that.

Trump is a bltch
