Trump Isnt Sending National Guard To Seattle I Think Its Great Sitting Back And Watching This Catastrophehttps://dailycaller.com/2020/06/20/exclusive-trump-isnt-sending-national-guard-seattle-catastrophe/

Trump spoke with the Caller for more than an hour Friday evening on a variety of issues, including racial inequality, coronavirus, advertising boycotts, John Bolton, China, and the 2020 election.
In recent days, Trump has urged Washington Gov. Jay Inslee to deploy National Guard troops to retake CHAZ and said that he himself will take care of it if Inslee fails to act. The president said Monday that he had discussed the situation with Attorney General Bill Barr. When asked by the Caller what Barr is advising him to do, POTUS answered, right now, I think its great sitting back and watching this catastrophe.
The Caller asked, if he indeed isnt currently planning on intervening, why continue with the tweets and statements indicating he would do so.
Well, because we can do it anytime we want, Trump answered. But when I watch, its showing how bad that city system of government is because theyre all leftist Democrats running all these places that have these problems.

Very likely he is lying but that is the official word for now.

is what we're all saying when we watch your clips of Tulas, as Eric calls that city.
Request to fellow DUers - Could someone more clever than I contact the Lincoln Project and tell them this should be their next ad catchphrase?
