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.

Or say it a little differently.
When people opposed to you are making fools of themselves, don’t stop them.
They are pretty much screwing themselves right now. If that changes then its easier to justify stopping them hard.
I think Trump is afraid to do it because he would be ignored or opposed by the governors, mayors and even military commanders in question.
We underestimate the extent to which the left already runs the country and has corrupted our institutions and undermined the rule of law.
The 4th Amendment guarantees citizens will be secure in their property and persons. Article 4 guarantees the People a republican form of government. All of this is being denied the citizens who own property and live in the city of Seattle and anywhere else presently under the rule of the mob. To do nothing is dereliction of duty. I will vote for Trump as the alternative is unthinkable, but I’m disgusted by his ‘could give a damn’ attitude while American cities are literally burning and our heritage being torn down and destroyed. If there were an alternative to Trump strong enough in character to oppose the mob and stamp out this insurrection, I would surely support them. Yelling that you stand for law and order and just standing by while chaos is allowed to metastasize is ugly.
LAW & ORDER!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 15, 2020
The Washington and Seattle left socialist democrats haven’t experienced enough pain and suffering yet. They are not ready to understand, to face the problems they themselves have created. President Trump knows that they need more time. He’s treating them like the immature teenagers they really are,
If seattle is destroyed, will anybody really give a damn?
Heroin dealers, maybe.
Trump is rewarding blue state governors and mayors fro their inaction.
_______________________________________
They told him to go back to his bunker.
They refused NG.
They told him he didn’t have the authority.
They demand Federal payment for riot damage.
He’s suggesting they control their territory.
They don’t want the responsibility because they want to be paid off/bailed out.
Other cities controlled the autonomous zone attempts. Other cities had no riots.
Just why should he give them what they want?
Let them deal or not deal. It isn’t Trump’s call when they say *pound sand* one day and *help me*, the next.
He knows the prog councils are calling the shots & the mayors/governors are between the rock and hard place. It is on them.
That ChazChop warlord is probably a CIA operative himself.
How does a guy like that get the money and vehicles he has?
Who supports this POS?
What’s his history? Where’s he come from?
Did you watch his speech last night? Trump is provoking these bastards to action.
Odd to see such concern over POTUS speaking the truth.
All true but it is primarily a state responsibility to restore order in Seattle. The governor needs to request assistance from the federal government.
Why? Haven’t you figured out how The Donald operates yet? He is needling these mayors and governors.
Somebody needs.to.dump.about 300 gallons of ammonia a bit upwind of the filth.

I was wondering about that. I seriously doubt the city is doing weekly trash pickup in CHAD or CHAS or SPAZ or whatever the anarchists are currently calling the hell hole. It’s been what, 2 weeks. Trash must be really piling up, along with the rats.
Back at it with the buzzwords again I see.
If he federalized the Guard and cleared the streets and handed them back over to this mayor and this police department, what has he achieved?
In this situation, where both mayor and governor are pro-antifa, anything he does will be undone almost immediately.
Better to let the people of Seattle see what they have elected, and let the pressure come from them. People have to see with their own eyes if they are ever going to get it.
“The Left NEEDS a Kent State moment to shove in people’s faces to defeat Trump.”
Yep. The Who would be sitting back enjoying? Not trump. Not us. The left. Would eat it up.
Exactly!!
These whiners remind me of a neighbor who complained, earlier, about Trump saying (as a freaking joke) ‘Maybe we’re doing too much testing. I may tell my people to slow down the testing’, at last night’s rally. Neighbor is ALL bent out of shape, about this.
They don’t get that PDJT is actually MOCKING the libtards/media.
He ALWAYS gives these fools PLENTY of rope.
His mistake was issuing the threat in the first place.
No sane POTUS would intervene in this clown show. And I’m happy that he is not.
If he federalized the Guard and cleared the streets and handed them back over to this mayor and this police department, what has he achieved?
Exactly.
Not like he’d gain votes from it. These idiots are too obtuse to even appreciate help out of the shat sack they’ve made for themselves.
