I think Trump should just sit back and enjoy Seatle destroying itself. I’d love to see the protesters march on Bill Gates’ house.
I would suggest that Trump do something. That something would be to recognize them as a separate foreign entity within the U.S. That establishes a cross-country border which means that regardless of what the state or city wants, the Federal government has jurisdiction in establishing a secure border and crossing checkpoints in and out of a foreign territory. They can then control or prohibit anyone from crossing the border in either direction including supplies. Entry and exit over the airspace can also be restricted. All utilities and communications can be cut off pending the establishment of cross-country agreements. Declare them to be a terrorist supporting country and allow no immigration into or out of that “country”. Sit back and watch the fascist idiots both inside and outside of the boundaries go batshit and there is nothing they can do about it.
Except that Gates lives across Lake Washington in a little neighborhood west of Bellevue named Medina. Protesters/Rioters would have to go through Bellevue to get to it....not to mention that any alert that these idiots were on the way would have Gates' security (and you KNOW he has them) go on high alert.
As interesting as it might be, it ain't gonna happen.
