    He keeps hoping protesters “start” some violence.

    What if we protested by giving the military milk and cookies and played games with them?

      I mean didn’t they have videos of them shooting rubber bullets and throwing tear gas at non-violent protesters… It is a clear sign they are trying to make the protesters do something other than what they were doing. Protesting non-violently

        I don’t have sources but I believe National Guard and Marines have done their best to not mix it up with civilians.

        Local PD and ICE, less so.

        My point is — what if Trump threw a riot and no one showed up? Or, even better, the “rioters” and National Guard had a party instead, and Trump wasn’t invited?
