    This incident reads like the Bible in front of the church thing while he was President, except this time he was told “No.”

      He didn’t even ask about the church, he just tear gassed the block to clear out all the normies, and pastors and worshipers and babies, y’know, dangerous folk, right before he walked over so he wouldn’t have to mix with them. I’m not even joking.

      Gen. Miley had no knowledge of the gassing or the intent of the walk and subsequent photo. By the time he had left Trumps presence and got back to his office, Trump had already posted it, making it seem like his actions were sanctioned by the Pentagon, like he had the support of the generals. Miley immediately went public calling bullshit, no doubt against whatever norms Arlington has set up for social media and high ranking officials.

      Legend is he would have been told “no” at the church, but church people were attacked and driven off along with the protesters.
