President Donald Trump's Recent Speech, Photo Op Receives Praise From Unexpected Celebrity

In recent weeks, President Donald Trump has faced criticism surrounding how he has handled both the coronavirus pandemic and the ongoing protests following George Floyd's murder. However, he has also found support from various people, including former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic.

On Monday, President Trump gave a speech where he addressed a bit of the current unrest within the United States. During his appearance, he did make a "passing reference to Floyd's death," but he failed to mention specifics about police brutality or other issues that the protesters have been working to bring to light. Instead, the speech primarily focused on utilizing military power and other thoughts about the crisis at hand.

He then walked to St. John's Episcopal Church for a photo op where he held up a Bible. En route to the location, it was also reported by People that "police cleared his route from protesters using tear gas and flash grenades" as a way to break up what were said to be peaceful protests.
