Donald Trump does not know how to hold "a Bible"
So let me get this right. Donald Trump crawled out of a bunker he was hiding in at the White House during the George Floyd street demonstrations in Washington DC. He became angry at the protestors and demonstrators for making him look like a coward. (Bone Spurs, you know!) So, he decided to punish the peaceful demonstrators by having teargas thrown on them just because he could. When the crowd was pushed back, Trump walked from Lafayette Park to the famous St. John's Episcopal Church because he wanted to stand like a self rightious hypocrit and hold up "a Bible". When asked by a reporter if it was "his Bible", he said, it was "a Bible" and then he held it upside down. Oh paleeeeeeze! In my opinion, deliberately holding a Bible upside down in public is a Satanic symbol. Just my opinion.

| Vice President Biden speaks in Philadelphia (Matt Rourke/AP) |
(Maine Writer- I watched the Biden speech. In my opinion, Vice President Biden's speech was perfectly perfect in tone and content and the stark opposite to the incendiary rhetoric we have been hearing from the evil Donald Trump. I hope I can post a transcript.)
The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee delivered a speech at Philadelphia's City Hall, addressing the civil unrest across America following the death of George Floyd. Biden said "the moment has come” to deal with systemic racism and deeply ingrained economic inequality — and insisted that the nation can't wait until November's election and its outcome.
“I call on the Congress to act this month," Biden said, urging lawmakers to start “with real police reform" and citing proposed legislation outlawing choke holds.
But Biden stepped up his criticism of Trump as he works to elevate his voice in the national debate — after more than two months of the campaign for the White House being frozen amid the outbreak of the coronarvius.
“This president today is part of the problem and accelerates it,” Biden said, adding that Trump is “consumed with his blinding ego."
Biden’s criticism comes a day after Trump threatened the nation’s governors that he would deploy the military to states if they did not stamp out violent protests over police brutality that have roiled the nation.
Authorities under federal command later forced back peaceful demonstrators in Washington with tear gas so the president could walk to nearby church St. John’s Church and pose briefly with a Bible. The church had sustained damage during Sunday protests.
Biden noted that “peaceful protesters” were dispersed from the “doorstep of the people’s house, the White House” using tear gas and flash grenades to stage what he called a “photo op” publicity stunt.
“The president held up a Bible,” Biden added. “I just wished he opened it once in awhile instead of brandishing it.”
The 20-plus minute address was covered live by cable networks and Biden used it to declare, "This job’s not about me. It’s about you. It’s about us.”
“Look, the presidency is a big job. Nobody will get everything right. And I won’t either,” Biden said, but promised, "I won’t fan the flames of hate.”
As the former vice president spoke, the National Guard maintained a visible presence to defend public buildings as Philadelphia grapples with sustained violent protests. Several adjacent businesses — banks, convenience stores and hotels were boarded up. Although a very small audience, including Mayor Jim Kenney, was on hand, the speech was televised live on MSNBC.
Biden is trying to create a stark contrast with Trump, who has embraced the language of confrontation and war, casting himself as the “president of law and order.” Trump signaled he would stake his reelection on convincing voters his (obnoxious) forceful approach was warranted in a time of national tumult and racial unrest.
“I will seek to heal the racial wounds that have long plagued this country – not use them for political gain,” Biden said.

Maine Writer post script- I know that Vice President Biden would never descrecate a Bible or make a "prop" out of a sacred and historic American church. On the other hand, Donald Trump has no idea how to hold a Bible and nor can he read from one.
