US President Donald Trump, who has entered the last months of his term and started to prepare for the November elections, is having the biggest crisis of his career… The events that started after the murder of 46-year-old African American George Floyd by violence by police increased on Monday last week.
While curfews have been declared in at least 40 cities across the country, National Guard has been activated in at least 24 states, including Washington DC.
Trump came in front of the church, accompanied by a police cordon.
While clashes, detentions and looting continue, a move by US President Trump has split America into two. Trump went to St. John’s Church accompanied by a large protection cord and posed here. According to eyewitnesses, before the arrival of Trump, police and security forces evacuated the area using pepper gas and violence, and it was also suggested that Trump had a special shooting operation.
Before Trump’s church visit, the demonstrators at nearby Lafayette Park were sprayed with tear gas. Shortly after the demonstrators disbanded, Trump arrived in front of the church, accompanied by intensive security measures.
This move of Trump, who posed with the Bible in his door, drew a great reaction. Pastor Mariann Budde criticized Trump’s move. Budde said, “Trump’s taking pictures using the church contradicts our stance against everything we are against. His movement has defiled symbols that are sacred to the people of this country. ”
“CHAIRMAN MISSING AN OPPORTUNITY”
Speaking to CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Budde said, “We need to understand the root of what caused this event. If we do not understand its context, we will miss the opportunity to recover. I saw what the President did this evening. He missed another opportunity. ”
A user on social media also said, “He allowed tear gas to be thrown on young people who wanted a better world to shake the Bible in front of a church. What a shameful moment for this country. ”
