But Wiles' animosity toward Trump melted away last night after the president staged a blatant photo-op(link is external) in front of a Washington, D.C., church amid the protests taking place across the nation following the killing(link is external) of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer last week.

During last night's "TruNews" program(link is external), Wiles cut away from his own broadcast to cover Trump's press conference and subsequent walk to St. John's church, where the president posed uncomfortably(link is external) with a Bible after security forces cleared away(link is external) cleared away a gathering of peaceful protesters with tear gas.

Wiles marveled at the staged scene.

"A very historical moment tonight," Wiles said(link is external) somberly. "You'll remember this for many, many years. You'll remember the night the president of the United States bravely walked out of the White House and went to a church that had almost burned down last night because of the leftist communist movement. And the president held up a Holy Bible, a signal to the whole world that his faith is in God, and I rejoice in this."

"This is the moment I've waited to see in Donald Trump," he continued. "I've waited four years to see Donald Trump sincerely express his faith in God, and I really believe that was sincere tonight ... I believe for the first time, the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, publicly acknowledged God."

"It was an amazing moment," Wiles concluded.
