Honestly. There are posters on this forum who get up in the morning and say oh look, the sun's up. Thanks Trump!
And of course, there are TDSers who wake up every morning searching for the next thing to be outraged about. Except their puppet masters at CNN and the rest of the lame stream media basically just spoon feed it to them.
Trump pretty much did the same with COVID-19, and the left slammed him relentlessly over it. It seems they want Trump to take an authoritarian approach and push these mayors aside so he can take control of the situation like a dictator.
This is why the task is futile. The left and its propaganda arm media will twist any action (or inaction) on the part of the President in the worst possible light. Intelligent people see this and get it, but there are a lot of low information and dense members in our society that will not, or not care. The left owns those types.
My hope is that Trump treads carefully, accepts the wisdom of his advisors, and takes a path that the leftist trash can't bash him for. Easier said than done, but the best way might just be to let the cities burn. Almost all the innocent victims in these cities are democrats, and I'm pretty sure that they are smart enough to know that the people who are destroying their livelihoods are not Trump supporters.
Yes, I approve and believe the military should take whatever action is necessary to stop the rioters, including shooting them to stop the violence. The rioters are injuring/killing innocent people.
The sad thing is those who are trying to peacefully protest to change our broken system will be lumped in with the criminal looting element. I understand stopping crimes from happening, but I'm afraid innocent people trying to find justice for George Floyd will become the collateral damage.

Are the peaceful protesters doing anything to thwart the violent rioters and looters around them?
Sometimes I just don't understand what the left wants or expects the police or NG to do. Everything with leftists is a one way street. Rioters and looters can run wild, destroy and hurt people, yet if an officer shoots or beats one up it is automatically police brutality. If it happens to be a white cop and a black rioter (odds are high), it becomes that much more volatile.
Make no mistake. This is all a game to the left and they have the upper hand just because of the PC world we live in. The right needs to remain strategic and careful.

I don't know what the peaceful protesters are doing as I'm not there. I can't imagine there's much they can do, being unarmed. It's a shame that they're both getting lumped into the same group. The looting and burning needs to be stopped, but the message of the peaceful protesters needs to be heard.
I disagree that this is a game of the left. This isn't a right or left thing. Police brutality like what happendc to George Floyd is epidemic in this country, and this conversation needs to happen. I understand people having enough. I've had enough and if I lived close to a place where protests are taking place, I would lend my voice to their cause.

Thats right they don't have that single mindset of the faithful as they wake up, fall in ranks and read the evening tweets from fearless leader.....
What a dumb poll. I could insult the intelligence of the OP here, as he does to me, but I have higher standards than that.
It's a dumb poll because the President cannot command the military on US soil against civilians except in rare and dire situations, limited to foreign invasions and insurrections against the federal government. Like COVID, the Governors are in command here and may direct the National Guard to restore civil order. See the Posse Comitatus Act.
The governors may request that the President send US troop to assist the National Guard. But that's a far cry from Trump riding in on a white horse and putting down the rioters, which is the right wing fantasy the OP is trying to project here.
