Behind the gates of an ever-more-fortified White House, Trump lashed out in the Oval Office at officials and mostly ignored suggestions he at least attempt to unify a country ripping along racial and ideological seams.
On Tuesday, the nation's most prominent televangelist delivered his rebuke. The country's senior-most military brass followed on Wednesday.By Thursday, the White House began to resemble a fortress. And on Friday, President Donald Trump awoke to giant yellow letters painted on the street a block away from his home reminding him black lives matter.
The day police charged a peaceful protest for Trump's photo-op 02:35The two issues -- controlling violence and improving the optics -- seemed to converge when Trump later raised the notion of emerging from the White House gates to walk to St. John's Church, whose basement fire he'd seen covered the previous evening on cable news.
Still, the incident on Monday caused some private concerns internally that Trump had taken a desire to project"law and order" authority too far. The hurried logistical efforts that went into the 17-minute walk seemed to many officials half-baked, particularly the apparent lack of a plan for what Trump would do when he arrived outside the yellow Greek Revival church.
Lemon: The people's house has become the people's fortress 03:02As reporters arrived to the White House early Thursday, more steel fences and concrete barriers were arriving on flatbed trucks. The fortification was expanding, even as White House officials insisted it was merely for security purposes and that Trump hadn't ordered it himself.
