WATCH: “Here’s the big scary LA protest — look: you don’t see the cops or the National guard here… are there any fires or chemical smoke? Wonder why that is.”
The people are peaceful. Law enforcement is doing the escalating. Intentionally. This has always been Trump’s plan.

When the open letter from univ prez against Trump over-reach was released on Tues morning, it had 180 signers. By Tues evening, over 270.
Through the day Wed (yesterday) it went into mid-300s.
This morning, Thurs, starts at more than 400.
This is significant. (Point of my post.)
