From the piece:
Yes, it was a desecration. St. John’s is everything Trump is not.
The thought of Trump using that historic church as a bargain-basement photo op is stomach turning.
And he made no bones about what he was doing. He took advantage of a nation under siege to find an easily accessible church singed by the unrest to posture himself as some kind of Christian Crusader — a stunt that only a cynical, not very bright, two-bit showman would perform.
