News says he did it because people laughed at him for hiding in the W.H. bunker
and he wanted to show he wasnt afraid to go outside the W.H. grounds (although just across the street).
I think he also did it because Biden had gone out and spoken with protesters.
Trump staying hidden in the W.H. while Biden goes out made Trump look bad.

I think you nailed it. Trump wears his insecurities like a knight wears armor. And he can't see how weak he looks.

(11,866 posts)The priest of this church was meeting with BLM when the military police drove them from the church with tear gas and rubber bullets, so that El Claudio De Mara Lago could have his photo=op with the upside down bible.
Did it never occur to him or to his handlers that the better look would be to meet with those people and perhaps sit in one of the pews to... you know pray? I'm guessing no, because he cannot converse with ordinary people without being inappropriate and fucking it up. So they went with option one "grab them by the pussy"; force himself on the Church the way he forces himself on women.
This alone should end him, but it won't.
