Peaceful Protesters Tear-Gassed To Clear Way For Trump Church Photo-Op
June 1, 202011:50 PM ET
The plaza between St. John's Church and Lafayette Park was full of
people nonviolently protesting police brutality late Monday afternoon when U.S.
Park Police and National Guard troops, with the use of tear gas, suddenly
started pushing them away for no apparent reason.
And then it became clear.
President Trump wanted to walk from the White House through the park to the Episcopal church. Camera crews scrambled to keep up with him as he strode through the park, followed by his daughter Ivanka [Note: Ivana/ "Ivanka" are feminine forms of the name Ivan, popular in Russia...] and her husband, Jared Kushner, along with Attorney General William Barr and other administration officials...."

Hi Pete
Free dialogue between anti-Trump protesters and Trumpists on an equal footing is the implicit basic principle of democracy. Although the fake news always impedes this principle, anti-Trump protestors use it because they believe they are right [1]. Evidence based criticism against Trump is needed for anti-Trump protesters to keep intellectual tradition in USA which The New York Times sometimes forgets.

“The lying about Donald Trump is now completely out of control.”

Hi Anonymous
Losing or winning elections, especially in Trumps case, was achieved by Trump's simple slogans, bluster, Trump's open racism, sexism, making-fun-of-disabled-people and innuendo rather than laboriously detailed scholarly argument. Trump is incapable of constructing or listening to detailed argument.
In any case in https://gentleseas.blogspot.com/2020/06/trump-closer-to-putin-then-trump-toward.html I located a new source of information, maybe untapped by US journalists, that is Russia's/Putin's own record of another warm telephone conversations with Trump - see http://en.kremlin.ru/catalog/persons/498/events/63444
I then contrasted that with an account of Trump's abuse, of his own citizens https://www.npr.org/2020/06/01/867532070/trumps-unannounced-church-visit-angers-church-officials This was on the same day as Trump's warm phone conversation with America's No.1 near-enemy Russia.
Next up is Bolton's use of colourful language in his new book leaked to key US news services - a highly useful way to enlighten Trump's more intelligent (ie. non-redneck) rightwing Republican support base - see https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/17/politics/bolton-book-trump/index.html eg:
"At another meeting during last year's G-20 Summit in Osaka, Bolton writes Trump "personally asked his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, to help him win the 2020 US presidential election"...Trump "stunningly" turned the conversation to the upcoming 2020 election."
Bolton "The former national security adviser said Trump "stressed the importance of farmers and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome," adding that he "would print Trump's exact words, but the [US] government's prepublication review process has decided otherwise."
Trump and Mussolini didn't win power by using nice, scholarly, arguments.
Cheers
Pete
