Trumps period of inaction is start to reach the end of its effectiveness. While I am not the 4D chess master, the people aren’t going to tolerate this kind of weakness much longer.
I can only trust he knows what he is doing.
Edit: Thank you for the insightful replies. Lots of great things to consider, pedes.
He can't just fix the problem, he HAS to let it get terrible.
Think of this.
You get a new landlord. He comes in your place while you aren't home, and says "I heard about a leak in here, so I came to fix it. It's fixed." You're going to be pissed that he was in your house without your permission or you being there.
Now, same scenario. But this time you see floor is flooded. Wet clothes, carpet, towels.....and you see he has a pump going, cleaning up the mess and says "I heard there was a leak, it was pretty bad, but I fixed it before the entire place flooded." You're going to be so grateful that he took care of it.
If Trump would have busted these idiots up early on....or even now, it's still too soon. The public have to get angry. The public have to see how big, and how bad the problem is, and they have to get vocal about it.
Then, he can take care of it, and he'll be a hero. If he does it now the left will say "Look, he's attacking citizens with the military!"
We know how terrible and violent antifa is. But most other americans don't.
In just the past few days I've changed my own stance on the CHAZ/CHOP, and on stopping/slowing for "protestors".
If they start to set up a CHOP in my town, I'm going to organize an ARMED resistance to tear it down immediately the moment they try to put up a border.
If I'm driving and protestors are blocking the streets, I'm just going to put on my hazards and keep rolling at the posted speed limit while holding down the horn, because once you slow down, then they surround you and attack you.
Afterwords I'll contact a lawyer and let him/her handle it. I won't make a statement without a lawyer there.
Now a week ago, I wouldn't have done anything. But after seeing all these videos of the leftist violence, I will refuse to become a victim.
you cant run as the law and order candidate if you were actively president while this bullshit was going on. it's been a month of this nonsense, put it down
Let's follow this logic. So he sends in the national guard. The lefties escalate to the point where you may see bricks, bombs, or live ammo coming from the crowds. The national guard is forced to respond in kind. Some young retards die. The media then frames it as Trump sending in the national guard to kill young kids, he loses the election, and everything goes according to their plan.
The whole purpose of these riots is to make Trump lose the election. Don't play right into it.
What would change is he wouldn't be a few months away from an election anymore. The purpose of the riots is to make him lose. Once he gets in again, he can crackdown as hard as he likes because there is no third term.

He is President not King.
Mayors, Governors, etc, need to step up and do their job.
FOR TOO LONG Police Chiefs and Mayors have been doing a TERRIBLE job with "just stand down" policies.
This is very key. The President in theory can do a lot, but that doesn't mean he should. Local leaders are the failures for not calling in for help.
I’d rather he just fucking fix the problem and then he can campaign about how he can get things done.
He can't just fix the problem, he HAS to let it get terrible.

But Trump is currently president, what would change in 2020 that would make this stop?
Provo isn't a Democrat state with a Democrat mayor.

Flexibility to do something politically unpopular. Safety is something that 100% of the voters support.
Not your normal LARP comment here, did you forget to change accounts? :)
