President Trump denied that he was taken to an underground White House bunker during tumultuous protests in Washington D.C. this past weekend and pushed back on criticism of his walk Monday to the historic St. John's Episcopal Church.

In an interview Wednesday on the "Brian Kilmeade Show," the president said that the mainstream media was to blame for both narratives.

"Well, it was a false report. I wasn't [there]. I went down during the day and I was there for a tiny little short period of time and it was much more for an inspection," he remarked.

"There was no problem during the day. The problem -- I saw Leland [Vitter] got whacked pretty good, but that was during the night. And, this problem, these problems are during the night -- not during the day."

According to a report in the New York Times, Secret Service agents had "abruptly rushed the president to the underground bunker used in the past during terrorist attacks."

A senior administration official confirmed the information to Fox News after The New York Times first reported the story on Sunday. The president explained he had only ever visited the bunker two or three times and "all for inspection" because "someday [he] may need it."

"And, I read about it like [it was] a big thing. There was never a problem. We never had a problem. Nobody ever came close to giving us a problem," he assured.

He told Kilmeade that while the Secret Service did not escort him anywhere for his safety, they said it "would be a good time to go down [and] take a look."

Trump also argued against eyewitness accounts Monday night of tear-gassing and beating protesters and members of the media who hindered his pathway to St. John's Church across the street.

Seeing President Trump stand in front of St. Johns Episcopal Church while holding a Bible in response to calls for racial justice right after using military force to clear peaceful protesters out of the area is one of the most flagrant misuses of religion I have ever seen, Interfaith Alliance President Rabbi Jack Moline said in a statement. "This only underscores the presidents complete lack of compassion for Black Americans and the lethal consequences of racism.

The Right Rev. Mariann Budde, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, to which St. Johns belongs, said she was outraged by the moment and noted that Trump didnt pray during his visit.

"Well, my response is simple: most religious leaders loved it," Trump noted, citing positive reactions from Franklin Graham and Robert Jeffress.

"And, it's on the other side that didn't like it. You know, the opposition party, as the expression goes. They burned down the church the day before. I heard how nice and wonderful the protesters were over there. Really? Then why did they burn down the church the day before?" he asked.

The president also denied knowledge of whether or not there were protesters surrounding the area.

"Nobody tells me that," he noted.


"It was very fast. I think it was very symbolic. I did hold up a Bible. I think that's a good thing, not a bad thing. And, many religious leaders loved it," Trump affirmed.

"Why wouldn't they love it? I'm standing in front of a church that went through trauma."

So glad we got a leader who really knows what's going on

I also like how casually he is like "Yeah I know it was a bullshit photo op but Christians eat up that shit"

He openly has so little respect for his supporters and they worship his ass anyway. It's remarkable.

So either he's so completely incompetent that they didn't feel the need to tell him about the problem, or he's so completely full of shit that he thinks we'd actually believe this.

Not a good look either way.

Nobody tells me that," he noted.
Basically the headline of his presidency. He's so incompetent, senile, and inept that no one bothers to tell him of anything that actually happens in that administration.

Can this dude not just own up to something for once?

Like even literally, "if a bunch of angry people were marching at your house, you'd be nervous too" would be better than "hurr durr yeah I went to the shelter but I was just checking it out"

If this is true, the secret service has to play a game of pretend to get him to do things?

Why can't Trump just say something on the lines of, "It's protocol to go to the bunker when there's an immediate threat to my life" or something long those lines. Hell the same thing happened to George Bush with 9/11. It's obvious Trump hated the #bunkerboy and wanted to appear "strong" hence that stupid photo-op at the church that he did unannounced. Trump cares more about his image than actually trying to be a president.

because he thinks saying that makes him weak

he thinks wearing a face mask makes him weak

Because he's not very smart and can't talk on his feet nor strum up any real speech. He doesn't even sound very bright. I have better speech ability than this dude and I suck at conversation.

I mean it's cause his supporters will believe literally anything he says.

He could say fascism is good tomorrow and his supporters would eat it up. "We love fascism!"
