This is so tiresome. He put on quite a show just now. They gassed the peaceful protesters at Lafayette Park to clear the way for Trump to “go outside” and walk to church without getting all scared by the big mean American citizens after he gave a pathetic chest thumping speech that really didn’t add up to anything more than posturing about what yuge hands he has.
He did not invoke the Insurrection Act. He just spewed a bunch of bullshit which his aides and Bill Barr clearly told him was muy macho .
He has clearly terrified of the protesters and the press coverage of him hiding in the bunker so this was his way to get back in the center of attention and show his cult that he’s still in charge. This reality show nonsense is the best he can do. It’s all he can do:
He did some major military cosplaying with this silly stuff before his silly photo-op:
President Donald Trump has ordered the creation of a military “central command center” to deploy federal assets to local governments struggling to respond to a surge of protests and riots over the death of George Floyd in police custody, the White House said on Monday.
The operation will be led by Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, alongside Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Attorney General William Barr, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said.
“There will be a central command center in conjunction with the state and local governments that will include Gen. Milley, Sec. Esper and AG Barr,” she told reporters at a briefing.
It’s meaningless nonsense they are all doing to make him feel better.
At some time it may not be and he’ll pull the trigger. But he didn’t do it today.
