The Profanity of a President

Some folks will find this image created by @thugcrowd offensive.

What’s significantly more offensive are:

1, the violence Trump had police perpetrate on peaceful protesters in order to clear a route for him from the White House to the church for the purpose of creating propaganda;

2, his failure to aspire to any of the values promoted in the book with which he is posing; and

3, the blatantly propagandistic moment he staged in front of a church while fumbling with a Bible.

What the video of this political atrocity reveals is a man masturbating his sense of entitlement and white supremacy, completely unrestrained by any sense of morality or ethics, while our cities burn with the racism he incites.

Trump and his actions are profane.

Watch the video here.

With disdain,
K-B
