Let me be clear. This is revolting. The Bible is not a prop. A church is not a photo op. Religion is not a political tool. God is not your plaything. pic.twitter.com/RZwPeqrwoZ

So, the Bishop of Washington Marian Budd said that “the President without permission, used the Bible — the most sacred text in the Judeo-Christian tradition and also one of the Episcopal churches, as a background for statements contrary to the teachings of Christ.”
Rabbi Jack Moline outraged that “waving” the Bible was the “answer” trump calls for justice against the representatives of the black race. According to the theologian, the President came to the Church “immediately after the use of military force against peaceful demonstrators, that is one of the most egregious antiprimery commitment to religion that I experiencedI for my life.”

trump also insulted brother Cuomo of CNN broadcaster Chris Cuomo, calling his contempt for Americans of Italian origin nickname.
Yesterday was a bad day for the Cuomo Brothers. New York was lost to the looters, thugs, Radical Left, and all others forms of Lowlife & Scum. The Governor refuses to accept my offer of a dominating National Guard. NYC was ripped to pieces. Likewise, Fredo”s ratings are down 50%!
