You have to read the whole article (all of it) to realize Trump was still ultimately responsible for this heavyhanded crap, even if there was a pre-existing plan.
It’s not truly important. It’s the tail wagging the dog.
Trump as POTUS could have easily put a stop to this. Instead he eagerly joined in and went along for the ride, to change the narrative of him being in a “bunker.”
And y’all loved it. Absolutely loved watching those racial justice protestors get the jackboot. And so did he.
The meaning of that Bible carelessly held up in front of that church is clear. The restoration of fire-and-brimstone Christian order over those heathen “rioters.”
Welp, we got the message, and then we sent him a different one in November.
