Ask the Governor of VA and Mayor of Charlottesville.

He has no leadership skills whatsoever, and this proves it.
Then what are you worried about? Keep wearing your mask and no one will recognize you.

So you don't want to actually answer the question? Why would a true leader whose best interests for the country is to calm the tension and promote healing intentionally provoke turbulance? Unless, of course, provoking turbulance is his intention.

President Trump has his base. No point in trying to appease haters.

So 3:1 of the people in the military, 3:1 White Voters, 30% of the Hispanic vote, a staggering 84% of the police vote, and the vast majority of Christians who voted for Trump are haters?

Says a lot about that type of person or community for that matter - they are AFRAID, so they cower.
There will be people protesting other than antifa, do you really think this appearance is to unite the country or to instigate.

That was fine when he was a candidate, but now he is the president of the entire United States of America, not just of his base. As such, he has a responsibilty to all Americans, even those who don't agree with him, to at least attempt to maintain the peace.

His rally here is going to provoke more unrest. A real leader would want to promote healing, not provoke more turbulance. A real leader would get to work on that, instead of stoking is own ego with a rally. What is more important to him, the country or his own ego?

I think if he goes through with his rah-rah rally we will have a definitive answer to that question.

His rally is to show solidarity. America is behind him. The noisy minority that apparently includes you is shameful.
The ones provoking hate and unrest are wearing masks.
