We all know that Donald Trump's view on how to deal with an angry and potentially destructive mob is dramatically different from that of Portland mayor Ted Wheeler, Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan, Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot, or New York City mayor Bill de Blasio.
Trump's administration sent U.S. Park Police into Lafayette Park, using "Smoke canisters, irritants, explosive devices, batons and horses." Quite a few observers contended the tactics used more force than necessary or that was justified by the situation.
The Dem blue-state mayors underreact, but Trump overreacts because of his "Instincts" rather than a sober and judicious analysis of the crisis.
Just ask Mayor Ted Wheeler, a blue-blood progressive-son of a Fortune 500 company top executive, and a Stanford graduate-who has indulged the protestors and given them moral support, inviting them to "Rise up." Just recently, he rejected Trump's offer to redeploy federal officers by writing him, "We don't need your politics of division and demagoguery." Yet protestors still occupied the lobby of his apartment building, and sent Wheeler a letter calling him a "True embodiment of white supremacy," and demanding a "Complete abolition of the Portland Police Bureau by 2022.".
Like the lockdowns, which are not based on science, indulging the riots provides non-stop visuals of mayhem and disorder that the Dem mayors think they can blame on Trump.
In addition to shifting blame for his feckless leadership onto Trump, is parroting the Democrat campaign talking points on the riots, since dropping polls have compelled them to notice the death and destruction they have so far studiously ignored.
So with no policy program other than the hard-left one of Bernie Sanders and Congressman Alexandra Ocasio Cortez, the Dems have to blame Trump for the riots and the Wuhan virus.
