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.

Regarding the bold: Don't count on it. After the cities burn to the ground every leftist official and pundit would collude to pull the greatest Jedi mind-trick in history and sweep the 2020 election. "RACISTS destroyed YOUR life in just four years. WE will rebuild it for you and THEY will pay for it" will run every five minutes on every channel and social media platform accompanied by a picture of Trump golfing and cities burning. You could bet the house and the grocery money on it.


Let the authoritarian dystopia commence.

Sadly you are likely right. I was trying to give their intelligence the benefit of the doubt.

President Trump is about to declare Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. The police will then be permitted to shoot them on site. No different than during the Boston Marathon bombing.

Yes if any rioting occurs on Federal land, or if states ask for assistance from feds.

I think harmful consequences for rioters is in order.
