By Anne Gearan Anne Gearan White House reporter Email Bio Follow March 17 at 6:23 PM On a sparkling, crisp spring Sunday morning, daffodils and crocuses in bloom, President Trump attended a Lenten service at historic St. John’s Episcopal Church, whose handsome yellow stucco walls have welcomed every president since James Madison.
Instead, Trump has spent the past few days, including the hours before and after the church service, rallying his most loyal supporters around his nationalist agenda against illegal immigration, attacking a familiar list of perceived enemies and adding new ones, all while casting himself as a victim of unfair attacks.
“I don’t, really,” he said Friday when asked whether white nationalism is a growing threat. “I think it’s a small group of people that have very, very serious problems.” Trump’s tweet defending Pirro was roundly criticized by his critics as being discordant in the wake of the massacre of Muslims in New Zealand by an assailant espousing white nationalism.
Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, said Sunday it was “absurd” to draw a connection between Trump’s many statements about immigration and the New Zealand shooting suspect’s reference to immigrants as “invaders within our lands.”Trump said during the 2016 campaign that he thinks “Islam hates us.”
Trump incorrectly claimed that McCain leaked the dossier about Trump’s ties to the Russian government to try to harm Trump’s chances ahead of the 2016 election. McCain said he passed the document along to the FBI after the election.
He can go eff himself.
The poor failing even the President & 1st Lady attending church services is big news to them. When Hillary fainted after attending 9/11 ceremonies in NYC in 2016 just before the election they tried to hide it but this, this is big news. FakeNews FakeCommentary.
Trump is so stupid he thinks Roe v Wade are George Washington’s options to cross Delaware River.
Went to church. Then went back on Twitter to insult, be disrespectful, and to make a complete ass of himself and the Presidency. I am so glad his church visit helped. Thanks to FLOTUS he is trying to Be Best.
what possessed him to cross the threshold of a church? Were they serving cold fast food?
A difficult week? Trump had one of his best weeks yet, watching the left melt and their Russia hoax completely fall apart. This week will be even worse for the CreepState and the WaPoo!
Weekend headline writer? Or just a Democrat Party communication intern?
Trump occupies the office of American President, he is not worthy of the respect due to that office and it will take a long time for America to repair the damage
Anyone know the topic the Priest was talking about Sure whatever it was Trump wasn’t listening!!
So, the nutjob president took a few minutes off of his rage tweeting to pretend he’s a good Christian going to church? I’m so sick of this despicable reality show. ImpeachTheMF
Did the church burst into spontaneous flames?
Going to church is obviously lost on him.
I go to my local hospital, doesn’t mean I’m a doctor or even want to be one. During Christ’s time many “showed” how religious they were in attending church. But it’s the everyday person you are that shows it. Kind,Charity,Love fellow man/woman,honest in ALL your doings.
He tweeted all day about Mueller and retweeted conspiracy theorists. It was bonkers.
Who wore it best!
Here comes 'CRAZY'
How come he doesn’t get struck by lightning when he enters a church?
First time ever in church while in office. Pathetic pr stunt.
So he gave up being a non-practicing Christian for lent? Huh?
