I'm surprised people can't see the outcome of this once the president sends in federal troops. This is not the time to let the leftist politicians off the hook.
Trump’s natural inclination is to do something. Egged on by Javanka. This is one of those moments in history where you have it all on the line with no good choices.
The Kobayashi Maru is a training exercise in the fictional Star Trek universe designed to test the character of Starfleet Academy cadets in a no-win scenario. The Kobayashi Maru test was first depicted in the opening scene of the film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and also appears in the 2009 film Star Trek. Screenwriter Jack B. Sowards is credited with inventing the test. The test’s name is occasionally used among Star Trek fans or those familiar with the series to describe a no-win scenario, a test of one’s character or a solution that involves redefining the problem and managing an insurmountable scenario gracefully.
The notional primary goal of the exercise is to rescue the civilian vessel Kobayashi Maru in a simulated battle with the Klingons. The disabled ship is located in the Klingon Neutral Zone, and any Starfleet ship entering the zone would cause an interstellar border incident. The approaching cadet crew must decide whether to attempt rescue of the Kobayashi Maru crew—endangering their own ship and lives—or leave the Kobayashi Maru to certain destruction. If the cadet chooses to attempt rescue, the simulation is designed to guarantee that the cadet’s ship enters a situation that he or she will have absolutely no chance of winning, escaping, negotiating or even surviving.
Trump needs to change the rules - if he can.

If only he could mandate a blanket amnesty for any sane citizen choosing to use lethal force in defense of their family and/or property.
He did it himself, with his ill-advised Tweet, threatening to shoot looters.
“I’m surprised people can’t see the outcome of this once the president sends in federal troops.”
If Trump sends in the troops, folks that were gonna vote for him will still vote for him this November.
Folks in the affected areas, that previously weren’t going to vote for him...may just change their minds when he puts a stop to this silliness on their towns and neighborhoods.
