"If a city or state refuses to take the actions necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them."
LEFTISTS thought Trump meant THIS:
No.
Trump invoked the Stafford Act when he declared the national emergency.
This allows the regular military be used in a law-enforcement capacity.
ALL OUR SPECIAL-OPERATIONS UNITS ARE AVAILABLE.
To make everything EASY and PEACEFUL.

There were videos of armed goons all over CHOP.
Did they all just go away?
Of course not.
When Trump said that the military would do the job, he meant REMOVING THE GUNMEN AND WOMEN.

Removing as in disarming and arresting.
Then the local cops can go in.
Americans are "dualists."
They hold two contradictory ideas in their heads at the same time.
They want law and order, but they don't want the police armed to level they need to be.

The mayor of Seattle was terrified of a bloodbath.
Who can blame her?
So she FINALLY asked Trump how the military would handle it, and someone was sent out to brief her.
They convinced her that all would be well, so she approved.

I'm sure the military said, "We've had people in there for a long time, removing weapons or making them inoperable."
It's likely that from the beginning, some "armed goons" were operators.
NOBODY FIRED AT THE COPS.
I saw people with AK-47s with 100-round drums.

You can't expect cops to go up against that.
So the US military did.
TRUMP WORDS EVERYTHING CAREFULLY.
He made it sound like he would steamroll the state and cities, but he's waiting for them to ask.
The wording of his statement is more bait.

Our Gulf Arab allies have spent the past five years rescuing hostages.
In Mosul, it was ONE MILLION HOSTAGES.
You can't go in with guns a-sprayin'.
We don't even know what capabilities they've shared with us.
NON-LETHAL capabilities.

I'm sure we have fast-acting knock-out darts.
And nasal sprays.
And stuff to put in drinks.
And needles on the ends of sticks.
I recently had a blood test, and I didn't even FEEL the needle.

One of my comments in another thread made a perfect point:
"If it wasn't on TV, it didn't happen."
The Golden Age of Duh.
Check it out:

Hanks is in a TOTALLY convincing World War II movie about US Navy destroyers protecting conveys from German U-boat "wolf packs."
Screenplay by Tom Hanks.
Looks like he's really proud of THIS line, since the trailer uses it twice.
"We'll rain HELL down from on high."
Oof.

This is what happens when casualties become a pissing contest.
Hanks obviously saw THIS: https://www.wearethemighty.com/history/merchant-marine-worst-losses-wwii?rebelltitem=5#rebelltitem5

But they lost a maximum of 12,000 men in all theaters over the entire war.
The Eighth Air Force lost 26,000 killed in the European bombing campaign alone.
And the bombers were ARMED.
Merchant ships were sitting ducks.
YOU CAN'T COMPARE VALOR.

Tom Hanks makes me sick because he coopts EVERYTHING and turns it into a contest of morality.
The sooner he retires the better.
I DON'T COMPARE PEOPLE WHO SERVED.
They ALL served.
You know what's wrong with Hanks?

Now he feels GUILTY about never serving, so he's overcompensating.
He's always the superhuman war hero.
Have you noticed that?
He actually said that our troops in the Pacific were all racists.

"Back in World War II, we viewed the Japanese as 'yellow, slant-eyed dogs' that believed in different gods. They were out to kill us because our way of living was different. We, in turn, wanted to annihilate them because they were different."
These "racist" marines had leaflets dropped on Okinawa, urging Japanese soldiers to surrender.
It took them THREE HOURS to talk this wounded officer into coming over.
The pamphlet was a safe pass. Hold it up, and we won't shoot.

Leftism is a terminal mental illness.
Actors need to shut up and act.
AND HIRE SCREENWRITERS.
"We'll rain HELL down from on high."
How utterly embarrassing.

Trump knows what he's doing.
The military know what they're doing.
All is well.
