Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr mocked US President Donald Trump after the latter posted a controversial photo of him holding a bible on social media. As per reports, police officers used tear gas to break up a peaceful protest outside of the White House in order for Donald Trump to head to the St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington, which is where the photo was taken. The Trump bible photo was widely criticised on social media as people claimed Trump has been appalling in dealing with the chaotic situations in the aftermath of George Floyd's death.

Greg Popovich on Trump
On Monday, head coach and general manager of San Antonio Spurs, Gregg Popovich, criticised Donald Trump for his handling of the George Floyd protests. Popovich questioned Donald Trump's leadership and called him 'deranged' for doing the least possible to unite the country during the crisis. "It’s unbelievable. If Trump had a brain, even if it was 99% cynical, he would come out and say something to unify people. But he doesn’t care about bringing people together. Even now. That’s how deranged he is. It’s all about him. It’s all about what benefits him personally. It’s never about the greater good. And that’s all he’s ever been," Popovich told The Nation.
