You say, "[f]or the Trump White House, the LA protestors are nothing more than lawless rioters and looters." Rather, I would call them a media event "opportunity". No one wants the Guard to come, but that misses the point. This is a great chance to elevate a media event that deflects from the Big Beautiful Blunder effort and promotes Holman/Miller on FOX.

It's a generated script. There is no belief at the top that LA protesters are anything other than a prop that can be easily triggered.

We might go even further than that, that Trump is trying to actively manufacture disorder in order to justify his power grab. I fear what's to come this weekend.
