It’s bait. People who protest should protest at city hall or someplace other than where Trump is putting the bait.

Trump wants images of confrontation. He wants escalation. Mark Esper, Trump’s SECDEF in his 1st term, said Trump ordered protesters to be shot. Trump wants to kill Americans.

His memorandum yesterday didn’t mention LA or California. He’s asserting control of the guard everywhere. He said yesterday he would deploy troops everywhere.
