2. This really is the bottom line

ANY president would be calling for calm in the wake of all this -- prior to Trump, it would have been unthinkable not to do so. The fact that Trump is NOT calling for calm should say a lot to most Americans.

He's all for throwing other people (cops and soldiers) at the problem, but HE won't actually do anything to calm the situation, to try and head off having to send those troops in the first place, because he obviously he wants it to continue.

I have to believe a majority of Americans can see through this.
