“right now, I think it’s great sitting back and watching this catastrophe.”

He may think that, but it’s better not to say it.

The President made a very clear threat to use force:

Now it's "great" to see the chaos spread and go unpunished?

I refuse to hop on that mad bandwagon.

When you issue a threat to use force, you better be prepared to act on it.

If I were and Antifa or BLM thug, I would be laughing.

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.

Why? Haven’t you figured out how The Donald operates yet? He is needling these mayors and governors.

He has to say it to keep vigilantes from feeding the fire and making it valid for the press to claim everybody does it.

That’s what makes Trump such an effective communicator. He says those things that all of us are thinking but which we’re not supposed to say. And the thing is that people, by and large, understand what he means. They understand that he doesn’t like the death and destruction but at the same time he is enjoying watching the left exposing themselves. The two reactions are not mutually exclusive. He also knows that it is the local leaders’ responsibility to deal with this, not his, and that if/when he steps in, it has to be at a point where his right to do so will be so clear that even his enemies will not be able to criticize him for it or question his legal authority to do so.
