I am going to be a bit of a contrarian here. I think there is a political danger to doing this especially if the president is trying to woo the black vote. These mayors will try to blame anything that goes wrong in these citius on racist trump pulling funding.
Well if we know what they are gonna try to do, we have time to develop a plan to deal with that.
A lot of black people have woken up as to what their dem “leadership” has been doing with and to, them.
In a sane world, this would be a valid concern. But they've learned from eight years of Obama that the easiest thing to do will be to blame Trump for both new or continuing woes anyway.
What those antifa rioters and sympathizers and enablers are doing is sedition and anarchy.
Skin color has nothing to do with it; those antifa thugs just want to burn and break things.
The mayors would fall under the category of aiding and abetting .
