Now Trump himself has said that he vows to stop this rioting.
Why would he wait one second more to stop it? He has given the state officials a chance and they are doing nothing. Every minute that Trump waits is costing him votes. I myself will certainly be voting for him, but in my opinion he is not showing leadership here.
This is what Trump does, he cheer leads early for the right people to do the right thing.
When they don’t, he escalates the cheer leading.
When they still don’t, he escalates the cheerleading some more.
Only then does he act.
I think he is brilliant. I will definitely be voting for him. And the voters who have weak governors are going to have to live with their results until they vote again.
In the process everyone ends up understanding that the right people were responsible, not Trump. And that Trump only acted after they failed.
The right people get blamed and Trump’s approval goes up.
Trump said today he has military police units ready and on standby if the governor requests help.
