I could be totally wrong, but I think POTUS is waiting for the city people to demand he do something. We know the mayors wont do anything.

Some of the people who live in the cities being destroyed are experiencing quite a bit of cognitive dissonance. Theyve been strong Democrats and have been trained by the various media over the last 4 years to hate PDJT. The thought of now having to ask him for help or to rely on him for their safety has them a bit paralyzed.
I have an acquaintance near Seattle who was complaining about the violence and the protestors and I suggested she write to her mayor, governor, state assemblymen, senators, congressmen, and President Trump and ask for military intervention. When she realized shed have to ask PDJT to help her after being so hostile about him for years, she backpedalled and actually said Well its not that bad yet.
I back the blue, but a lot of them in cities I have known are hardcore Democrats. That does not help either.
