President Donald Trump isn’t planning on imminently sending federal assets to reclaim the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in Seattle, Wash. despite repeatedly threatening to do so, he told the Daily Caller in an exclusive Oval Office interview.
Trump spoke with the Caller for more than an hour Friday evening on a variety of issues, including racial inequality, coronavirus, advertising boycotts, John Bolton, China, and the 2020 election.
In recent days, Trump has urged Washington Gov. Jay Inslee to deploy National Guard troops to retake CHAZ and said that he himself “will take care of it” if Inslee fails to act. The president said Monday that he had discussed the situation with Attorney General Bill Barr. When asked by the Caller what Barr is “advising” him to do, POTUS answered, “right now, I think it’s great sitting back and watching this catastrophe.”
The Caller asked, if he indeed isn’t currently planning on intervening, why continue with the tweets and statements indicating he would do so.
“Well, because we can do it anytime we want,” Trump answered.

Very wise strategy Mr. President. They tried to bait you but showed their cards too early with the FAKE NEWS after you visited the church. Democrats had all of their left wing generals ready to release their statements but now it looks like much Ado about nothing. Mark my words:
The Left NEEDS a Kent State moment to shove in people’s faces to defeat Trump.
They have let their own cities burn in an effort to force him into action. I like him telegraphing inaction rather than making his threatening tweets that don’t help anything.
Perilous times when politics demands blood and the politicians are all silent about it. Except for 1 man.
Where are the parents?? Don’t they wonder why they haven’t seen their kids in THREE WEEKS??!
The anarchists want the troops sent in because they want blood in the streets, fully secure in the knowledge that the news media and social media companies will spin it completely in the favor of BLM/Antifa. Let them stew, let them demonstrate their incompetence. IMO we should be blockading it completely, NOTHING comes in. Nothing at all. No supplies, no utilities. Cut it off and let them be truly autonomous.

The federal government has been too generous at bailing people out. It’s better to hold off.
I could care less what Tucker Carlson says. I haven’t watched Fox News, or any other new programs for years. If the liberals who run these cities won’t clean up their messes, then they can just fester in the $hit show they’ve created. Why do their job for them?
“Western civilization and the law is torn down’
LA, Chicago, Seattle, Minneapolis, NYC…
To what extent do these things exist there even prior to this?
They've been laughing since they took the neighborhood over.
They want a full reboot of this country, and it’s getting closer with each passing day.
They don't want government help....same sh** that Cuomo pulled with Covid....I'm boss...but how do I get a ship and buildings built overnight. da
He really should stop telegraphing so much
Well, if President Trump sends troops, the CIA handlers mingling with Antifa will see to it that the MSM operatives (journalists) will be given photo opportunities that make it look like police-state brutality. This would be occurring after the leftist MSM, Governors and local officials have assured the public that there is no real threat. The lefties have created a set-up they want President Trump to walk into.
However, the Deep State lefties never though Trump would see this trap for what it was. They thought he would put ego before strategy to defeat those who want to destroy us. No one will be safe until the public can properly identify who their enemies really are.
So right now, thugs are given “sanctuaries” and support to riot/vandalize and make demands etc and good PR from the MSM. The people who are given these thugs protection and support are elected officials, and other “public servants, and they are telling the world, as well as the locals impacted by these thugs, that it is not happening.
How likely is it that the public living in that area has realized the Deep State officials like the Governor, Mayor, MSM are protecting and supporting thugs instead of the people whom they rely on for support.
The fallout from these acts will be undeniable. Please, Mayor, tell out how X number of businesses were destroyed by peaceful protesters during the “The Summer of Love”? Who gave the order to the police to stand down? Who gave the order to give up a prescient office to thugs for their own country? Who is responsible for denying police services to those impacted by this?
It is more than simply “unfair” to the innocents caught in this farce. It would actually be worse for them if Trump were to send troops and many go on trusting treasonous liars, the MSM splashes faked photos of military brutality to “peaceful protesters”, and Nancy Pelosi et. al. beg the U.N. to intervene claiming the President’s actions are unconstitutional. Even his Sec of Defense Mark Esper has said that there is no reason for military troops to be involved. You see, it would Trump versus the world again, and he has to stay in office to fight them. He needs our support.
Seems to me every time these alleged revolutionaries act up, pull some stupid stunt it Wile E. Coyote’s on them. It’s sad to see so many of these people, many of them citizens of this country with their heads stuck up their asses. Really sad. Exposes our educational system for what it has become.
Trump should indeed let this play out. It will collapse eventually and It`s great for showing what voting for Democrats will lead to.
Confederate era statues belong in museums, not on streets, anyways. Move them all before more are destroyed.
Well said.

I understand his point.But let’s take care of this asap.
The rest of us in the state know we’ll have to bail out Seattle...their mess and our taxes.
I think what they’ve got is a large hostage situation and a ton of civil cases.
Are people who were living there before this started allowed to leave?
It would be a bigger disaster if the National Guard went in and it would start this all over the Country. Don’t fool yourself, he knows exactly what he is doing. Soon, the people in that area are going to demand action from their elected officials. That is the way to do it.

Yup. The Leftists have the “utopia” they want, with the mayor and the governor’s current blessing.
As Oscar Wilde said, “There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.” And baby, the Left has got it.
Somebody needs.to.dump.about 300 gallons of ammonia a bit upwind of the filth.
Maybe add a.little.bleach for disinfectent.
