Something else important that failed.

I really think Trump was hoping for a huge ugly confrontation between his redneck assholes and the protestors. Something where his storm troopers could mow down the protestors and hurt a lot of people.

Thank God that didn't happen.

Crushing, beating, shooting and even killing demonstrators would fit into his narrative of the tough "law and order" guy.

Don't think that he still won't try this again in the future.

And they were screaming "no more masks" out of a megaphone but that was about it.

Blocks and blocks of protestors all sitting on the ground not making a sound.

The sound of silence.

Stochastic asshole on full display. Hoping his followers who he called “very good people” who took their AK 15 weapons to storm the Capital in Michigan will stand in as his army.

incite a situation. So what if people got hurt. It would give him, and his pundits something to crow about.

Instead he got an extremely low turnout, and nothing more.

Boo hoo! Poor old guy, America let him down. He's having a sad Sunday, and it's Father's Day, to boot.

I'd feel sorry for the sick asshole, but ... I'm pretty happy he has a sad.

Meanwhile, he's plotting revenge. You just know he is. I hope that backfires on him.

in part because of the Cops in Chicago beating the protesters at the Democratic National Convention. Yes, I agree with you. This is also why Trump wanted cops and the military to tear gas protesters in Washington D.C., and why he keeps using the phrase "Law & Order". Trump thinks that a majority of Americans want to see protesters being beaten. He is clueless.

You know they were hoping, itching to clash with antifa or BLM. So relieved that didn’t happen.
