  > This would imply the president would have been unharmed if he just took a walk to the church. This comment sounds very disingenuous, because it fails to take into account the fact that Trump's decision to go on an unplanned photo-op was designed to force a scenario devised explicitly to draw a reaction. And please note that even the priest complained that he felt abused and betrayed by Trump because it was patently obvious that the goal of that stunt was not to visit church or talk to the priest. In basketball there's taking a charge and flopping. Trump's photo-op at the church was a colossal flop.
