What do you want Trump to do? Anything he says makes you cry.
You want the military on the streets of America, because he can do that?

We saw it coming, how could anyone ignore the signs, they were right there in our faces. The Trump whisperer Stephen Miller has intentionally encouraged and aided Trump in bringing this to a head. Now it's here and Putin is thrilled, China is ecstatic. Neither of our arch-enemies will shed a tear that the US is in complete disarray.

Me.

In 2016, when I thought Trump might be worth the trouble he'd cause the powers that be,
I was expecting there was someone behind Trump's persona who would be professional.

When Trump won, I expected things'd get bad,
but just in a more general, gloomy around the edges sorta thing.


Today's America looks more like what the red in the face liberal screamers must've been anticipating



Also, the people who voted for Trump probably didn't anticipate this either.
 
What do you want Trump to do?
Is it so hard for you to imagine actions better than Trump's?


You want the military on the streets of America, because he can do that?
This speaks to your mindset, I guess. Don't know what it says, though.

You wanted to broach the idea of the US military conducting a occupation of US cities for some reason.
You have some reason for wanting to talk about that.
 
We need the Missippi to flood.

Tornadoes tearing up the Midwest.

Hurricane blowing down Miami.

Earthquake shaking Los Angeles down.

Big ol blizzard in Buffalo burying everything to 20' deep.

Then I'll believe.

What do you want Trump to do that your Democrats have failed to do, as riots and looting destroy their cities and ensure decades of suffering for the residents?
What is it? How would you like Trump to motivate your Democrats to flipping DO SOMETHING instead of "giving them space to destroy"? What can Trump do now for the Democrats that are going to be putting their hands out for taxpayers to repair the damage they fecklessly allowed to wash over their cities?
 
If he'd STFU it would be a vast improvement and relief for the country.

Oh, but now the leftist want Trump to do something! Your failed Democrat leaders (pfft) are failing writ large and their cities are burning.
You want Trump to stfu until you want your failed Democrat leaders to go begging for funds to repair the damage.
Until the next riot.
And the next.

I think this is exactly what his hardcore trash hoped Donnie Dirtbag's presidency would lead to--chaos and destruction. They voted for him because he was a walking cluster**** and would reducd the country to ashes making way for some great White Kultur Kampf and return to antebellum status. His history was one disaster after another. They knew what he was and this is exactly what they wanted. It certainly is what Putin was hoping for.

I expected much of this as it was introduced through predictive linguistics about three years ago. Initially I thought predictive linguistics was a load woo woo crap. And while it wasn't always correct it was astonishingly correct more often than chance.

After one year of Trump, however, I fairly well knew things would become very bad in America and that there would likely be an unfathomable absence of national leadership.

Regretfully, as bad as things are for America I expect them to become worse.

That the last thing we want. The best thing for him to do is disappear, shut up and let someone else take over. When he "does" something it always gets worse.
 
You people sure are alarmist. We had diseases killing thousands during the Obama Admin. Police killing young black people and subsequent riots in the streets.

It's just matters of degree now.

What wasn't it the apocalypse back when Barack Obama was president?

Trump doesn’t really care about these riots - Trump Tower in Chicago wasn’t touched- heavy police presence.

But just wait til he sees the stock market reaction tomorrow.

Then he will be upset and take some, likely stupid, action.

Until you want more money because your Democrats allowed their cities to burn.

You maybe right.
There're all sorts of folks.

Many of the folks I've interacted with seem to have been in earnest trying to make things better by supporting Trump.
They've just bought into some bull****.

Some other Trump supporters do seem to be wastrels though.

Democrat Mayors in charge. 24 cities burn and their democrat mayors started by doing nothing, not policing not the national guard, nothing. Now they can't stop it. Great job democrats.

Perhaps. Not results though. The results have been outstanding.

Hardly broaching, since it has already happened. National Guard security forces have been used to buttress police. Were you disingenuous or did you genuinely not know?

You are having a difficult time imagining what else Trump could possibly do to make things better?

You feel that Trump has maxed out his capacity to handle this national crisis?

You probably have a good point.





In an alternate universe...


if Trump could avoid publicly quoting racists from past racial crises when dealing with this current racial crisis...
1. Can we all agree that issuing (empty) threats while quoting racist assholes from the past is a non-optimal course of action on Trump's part?
Genuinely curious.
Can we all agree with that premise?
Or does quoting racists and talking about shooting people sound like a good way to settle racial unrest to you?

Maybe you're right, though. Maybe that is the best Trump can do.



Additionally,
2. Trump could start with a plain, public acknowledgement that the protesters' grievances are legitimate.
Just saying some of those words'd be a start.
It's not even hard for most people to mean it.
You're probably right that this could be ( impossible or ) quite difficult for Trump though



And most improbably,
3. Trump could get rid of the guy in his inner circle who propagates supremacist propaganda — Stephen Miller
Miller has never disavowed the emails nor their contents​



You are right that it's nearly impossible to imagine Trump taking any of these simple, obvious steps.


So, for sure, when it comes to leading the country through a trying time,
what do you really expect Trump to do?


What can Trump do?




What can Trump do?

Trump has already motivated Democrats and independents big league

When you were saying stuff about Trump putting the military in our cities
you were actually talking about the governors calling up the national guard?

My bad.
I misunderstood your comment.
I thought you were talking about Trump putting troops in US cities.

Totally different thing then.

Nah, man. I hate it when the governors have to call up the National Guard.

When a governor calls up the National Guard
it usually means something big needs to be fixed
& many Americans need to be helped.

afaIk, the NG do a bang up job helping Americans during times of trouble.
More good to them.
Thanks, y'all!
