tear gas mere minutes before Trump’s address began. As with other recent protests in response to the killing of George Floyd, the police appeared to be indiscriminate in who they targeted with their force, acting out against journalists as well as peaceful protesters.

The reasoning behind the violent attempt to clear the protesters—which took place even before Washington D.C.’s 7 P.M. curfew went into effect—soon became clear, as Trump said at the end of his Rose Garden address he would “pay his respects to a very, very special place.” Immediately after his speech, Trump and other federal officials walked across the now-empty street outside the White House for a photo opportunity at the nearby St.

This was a sad day.. peaceful protesters tear gassed to clear the way for realDonaldTrump’s fragile (yet over-inflated) ego to get stroked. Our Constitution provides for this peaceful assembly, and there was justified reason to protest. Trump and his photo op are despicable.

they were told to leave and they just stood there and stared like idiots. so yeah.. clear the FUCK out

He wants to invite civil war because his deplorables have all the guns.

Mr. Trump shame on you😷

Disgusting that you're more concerned about this than the church that was burned down

Actually, the photo op was staged so they could teargas a peaceful protest!

White House divided on Trump addressing racial tensionsThe infighting over a formal speech reflects the bigger question of how to soothe a country also grappling with a health and economic crisis. SethAbramson A trump Resignation would be a start. Judging by his Twitter feed the past several days, there is nothing he could say that would be helpful. It would be best if he doesn’t say anything at this point. That’s the problem. He has to go away or he could start something that won’t stop. No one wants to hear from him.
