Moments ago, we saw President Trump standing outside a church holding up a bible.

But just before this, armed soldiers were seen chasing out and clearing out peaceful protesters – clearing the way for Trump to walk towards the church.

The church in question is the historic St John’s Episcopal Church – which every US president has to attend since James Madison in 1816. It was lightly damaged in a fire set by rioters the previous evening.

But the region’s bishop – has accused Trump of using the church as a “prop”.

The Right Rev. Mariann Budde told the Washington Post: “I am outraged… was not given even a call that they would be clearing with tear gas so they could use one of our churches as a prop, holding a Bible… one that declares that God is love when everything [Trump] has said and done is to enflame violence.

“I don’t want see President Trump speaking for St John’s.”
