Sooooo I have to ask why isn’t Trump doing anything? These statues legally belong to the American people not one city. Can’t Trump send in the troops to defend the statues?
Posse Commitatus Act applies, so no.

well, he did in DC ... but it’s totally a political winner for the nation to continuously observe the anarchy and insurrection that is a consequence of the feckless, ineffectual, and cowardly behavior when Dems are in charge ... in fact, it’s a nice contrast between the action that Trump takes in DC to preserve our national heritage while the Dems allow the wanton destruction of their state heritages by anarchists and insurrectionists ...
