President Donald Trump indicated on Wednesday afternoon that he would prefer not to use military personnel to quell the unrest ....He made the remarks during an interview on Newsmax TV...It depends. I dont think we will have to, he said.
We have very strong powers to do it. The National Guard is customary and we have a very powerful National Guard over 300,000 men and women, and we can do pretty much whatever we want, he said.

but they’re kneeling in Los Angles
POTUS get something in his eye? Cuz he just blinked.
In what way?
Naw, he doesn't take anything off the table in his negotiations. That's why he wins.
If that's true, some Commanders need to be relieved and kicked out.
Smart move
He also gave the states their autonomy in dealing with the riots, until leftist mayors and governors had their police stand down and permitted unopposed evil.
Hollywood actor staged event is what I’m hearing about that now.
Arent the National guard kneeling?
The other day POTUS was talking about deploying military MP’s, until his DefSec came out publicly and opposed him on it. Now POTUS has reversed himself and is talking National Guard not U.S. military. That’s a “blink” in my book. And the DefSec’s still at his post. Wonder who has POTUS’s ear. Javanka?
The Democrat governors like the rioting. It keeps the non-criminals in line. Just like the “pandemic” lockdowns.
Idiot blue state governors and mayors are purposefully letting their cities burn rather than doing so.
He should use every method that limits the unrest, including legal. Sue them, sue everyone who is blocking access to other Americans civil rights, investigate them, use every method. Shop for different venues. If Federal Crimes, why never use the best venue? This is so much bigger than getting rid of Trump. I wonder if he can see that?
Jesus they die in war for god sake. God bless our National Guard.
“Cuz he just blinked.”
Nope. This is one of the best calls Trump has made. If he sends in the military, any bad thing that happens is on him — I remember Kent State. Constitutionally, the responsibility is on the governors and mayors. Governors can call up the National Guard as state forces. If their constituents then get shot, which some will, it is on the governor. Trump is letting Blue voters live with the consequences of their actions.
Police aware and supporting, wearing T-shirts so police know who they are
That they are being instructed by the Neocons and Bushies.
Bongino looked completely wigged out and like he hasn't slept much in a few days.
Trump should make liberal leaders BEG for his help.
