WASHINGTON — Under normal circumstances, President Trump crossing the street to hold up a Bible in front of a church would be a cringeworthy photo-op. He didn’t read from it. He didn’t step in the church and pray. He just awkwardly modeled with a Bible. It was the crudest photo op symbolism imaginable.
TRUMP. BIBLE. CHURCH. (GOT IT?)
In its full context, though, Trump’s trip to St. John's, the church vandalized and partly burned by protesters Sunday night, was worse. He deployed a battalion of law enforcement to push back peaceful protesters forcibly for the sole purpose of clearing a path for him to make a perfunctory photo op that served no purpose higher than his own politics.
Using the Bible as a prop is profane and sadly common. Deploying fully armed police against peaceful citizens to arrange this photo op is the sort of penny-ante corruption you expect from a debauched city government.
