Yesterday president Trump emerged from his white house bunker to pose for a photo outside a local church holding a bible.
In order to reach the church the 73 year old ordered that peaceful protesters outside the white house were cleared and the police did so using tear gas on them.
While opponents have questioned the tactics of gassing citizens to capture this photo opportunity of the president holding a book,
supporters of the president unanimously believe it was justified.
Later he spent the evening retweeting praise for a speech he made. Less kind observers have described it as "rambling, nonsensical word soup".
Earlier in the week President re-quoted former Miami police chief Walter Headley by tweeting "when the looting starts, the shooting starts". The president stopped at fully quoting Headley who also advocated to "shoot rioters on sight".
