President Donald Trump declared himself the 'law and order president' Monday night as law enforcement officials used rubber bullets, tear gas and officers on horse back to clear out protesters so Trump could walk to an historic church across from the White House for a photo-op.
'I am your president of law and order,' Trump said in the Rose Garden as the split screen on televisions across the nation showed peaceful protesters being fired upon and cleared out 30 minutes before Washington D.C.'s curfew went into affect.
'The biggest victims of the rioting are peace loving citizens in our poorest communities, and as they are president, I will fight to keep them safe. I will fight to protect you. I am your president of law and order and an ally of all peaceful protesters,' Trump said in brief remarks. As he spoke helicopters circled over head and booming sounds could be heard.
Armed offices on horse back cleared protesters from around the White House so the president could walk across Lafayette Park to pay his respects to St. John's Church, the historic chapel across from the White House known as the president's church. It suffered damage in Sunday night's protest.
If the city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residence, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them,' the president said.

“As I posted elsewhere, remember that time Obama had the March for Life protesters tear gassed at 6:45 EDT during the national news so he could walk to the Lincoln Memorial and have his picture taken?”
do you have a link for that?
When you write an inflammatory headline to smear the President and people agree with it...
What a bunch of crap and liars.
And if you do not agree, you’re a racist.
Enough!
How many divisions does the bishop have?
This person is nothing but a liberal who is spewing liberal talking points against Trump. This church has shown over the last three years that it is anti Trump and uses it’s religious status to speak against him. But the media loves it. Religious or not, they are just as pathetic as most Democrats.
And they probably wont be coming back anytime soon.
That’s pretty funny the way she spins it given that the burning and breaking of public and private property by the anarcho-communist rioters is done for the benefit of the news cameras.
Who was that bimbo reporter in the purple dress? I thought I heard her ask the president if he could move forward or something.
If she believes the Bible is sacred where is the part that says female priests are OK?
Well, “the bishop” holds her politics above her love of God. Now, isn’t that special?
Partisan Media Shills update.
Did I really need a sarcasm tag?
So she wants us to believe the police were clearing protesters with tear gas while simultaneously making the horses, who are magically immune to tear gas, wade into the gas and push out protesters so he could walk through?
Nothing behind the eyes. A dead stare. Where is she inflated?
Please post a source - I’d love to publicize this.
Pdjt may well be our law and order president but its up to mayors and police to stop the street gangsters hooligans Burglars and arsonists. Trump can set a good positive law and order tone but when mayors tell their police to stand down and let the Bastidas Riot loot and Burn, WTH can a president do?
I am sure they were told to disperse and refused. They should have all been arrested.
Good sarcasm.
I’ve been racking my brain trying to remember the event!
Seesh.
