Protesters brutally dispersed ahead of Trump's photo opportunity at St. John's Church.

US president Donald Trump has visited the 200-year-old church near the White House that was set on fire as demonstrators clashed with police over the weekend. Beginning with James Madison, every person who has held the office of president has attended a service at St John's Church.

JulianBurnside I also note that in some of the pictures he was holding the bible upside-down, thus inverting the cross on the front cover. Whilst the 'Petrine' Cross is associated with the crucifixion of St. Peter, latterly it has been used as an anti-Christian symbol!

Thank you for calling his stunt what it was.

The vast majority are doing a brilliant job out there against a criminal mob. It is only them that are preventing the military being mobilised. The public in the US should be grateful for the overwhelming majority of the officers they have

Evil. And as a Christian in leadership, I am more than happy to call him out for what he is. A Liar. A Racist. A Hypocrite.

The face of hypocrisy.

There's a lot of clips of him acting bizarrely, but this was one of the weirdest. I will never understand how people can look at him and not see him for the total freakshow he is.

I’m ashamed of the willingness of police and Secret Service members to so eagerly gas Americans so the deranged orange king could fuck around in front of a church. Very troubling.

Playing the public like a game. Sad so so sad

Brutality is what they are using.

nazirafzal Couldn't use an umbrella now can't figure when a book is upside down.

It's all about the upcoming election folks.

They did not brutally disperse them they fired a few smoke bombs that's all they never hurt no one

realDonaldTrump Hey Donald God called he is looking for his book back ....

So what?

Scotland_Good Bible is upside-down. Was that deliberate?

nazirafzal Classic case of “Smoke & Mirrors” ...

Excellent

KatrinaHagen2 nytimes this is how you do it.

🤬🤬🤬🤬

Everyone knows it's not peaceful assembly -- he went to look at Fire Damage. DUH!

KatrinaHagen2 If you want the truth about what's happening in America, you have to read foreign newspapers sources. American media is too captured by the corporate bottom line to piss off the rich and powerful.

So strong. So brave. So decisive. And not a hair out of place. No wonder all the girls love him.

America in a nutshell: violent suppression, pretend to believe in God.

ThisIsAmerica

Its POTUS. They couldn't reasonably expect to get close enough did they? Circumstances call for extra security. Rioters do it to themselves

If people surrounded your house would you call the police and let your dogs into the garden

Let there be justice...black power ✌✌✌

Trump is about as religious as an AR15. The USA needs to end this now before he triggers another Civil War!

liberal dribble...

I solemnly swear never to tell the truth, the half truths and hide the truth.

It is quite despicable that Trump should use a Bible and a church in this way.

Look at the white supremacists Again , whomever did the make up , is very talented.

Look at this 'peaceful' protestor finally meeting his match

Look at these lovely peaceful protestors , practicing their 'kick in the head massage Therapy'. Beautiful , in'it Guardian.

He must be a Bible Trumper... WIC 🧐🕵️

Peaceful protestors making sure they will not be rioting without the latest Nike Gear ... We can't riot without the latest fashion trends, in'it Guardian.

Probably followed Putin's advice.

White Supremacists in action. Whomever did the make up, is an absolute legend. Imagine the job offers they will have lined up.

Biased reporting. Well done. Do a favor and stop calling urself a news outlet

Where’s that Bible now? Was it tossed after your photo opp? realDonaldTrump you’re a disgrace!

Who the fuck does Donald Trump listen to? Straight puppet doesn’t even know what the hell he is doing or saying...this is Mike Pence all the way. Trump isn’t running the country he thinks he is, but he’s not...Mike Pence thinks he’s slick. Trump would fail the bar test..he would

This could be from The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: the angry crowds are beaten off so that the Emperor can perform a fatuous piece of improvised state ritual.

Trump - A bad apple from a bad tree: GeorgeFloyd BLACK_LIVES_MATTER

This is Trump's Bible

Look on the bright side no way he's getting re-elected.

Amazing that a post by the Guardian attracts so many gammonites so early in the morning

Take care .It's been done before and the end was awful

Uhh ... they were warned to leave and they didn’t leave .. they had fair warning and they chose to stay ... now you’re complicit in terrorism !

That is just a perfect interpretation of 'Power makes people corruption'. No wonder people can not breath, we are just living in the world, where you are able to use google, excepts China

So he can gather the sheep to defend his incompetence and brutality

You mean the arsonist who burned the Church few hours before.

Hypocrisy

Get the filthy protestors off the streets, keep law abiding citizens safe

Good

Sign this petition if you agree: Reform required in the US; support an International Boycott of US until talks are granted

Remember: Trump spoke to his boss Putin before talking to American Governors & American people. Trump does, What Putin does.

Once you start burning and looting innocent people’s property...you lose the argument.

Model?

He looks so much like Jesus, the Prince of Peace, the Lamb that humbled Himself...

Brutally? Really? This is why no one believes the media anymore. Fake news

Ut oh.. The Gaurdian aren't happy with you. realDonaldTrump. Your plead for Silence has not gone unheard. With the 'Federal Slaves' on stand-by you will surely be able to cull this resistance. Excuse my Sarcastic Misinforming Rhetoric.

Trump2020VictoryNowMoreThanEver

فجأة آمن بالله وملائكته ورسله واليوم الأخر والقدر خيره وشره

That’s the most 🇺🇸 thing ever!

Brutally, eh?

You throw something at the USSS whilst they are clearing safe passage for the President of the United States, and this is what happens.

Non-lethal fascism is still fascism.

Donald Trump orders governors to 'dominate' George Floyd protestersHe told governors that they need to step up law enforcement measures in response to the protests so ‘you’ll never see this stuff again.’ Protestors jailed for 10 years. You can’t make this up This man is making everything worse by every sentence he speaks out at the moment. No sense that he gets the situation at all.
