Here is a truth that occurred twice in your life time: if you choose to forget it, the price will be dear. One can send out a note like this based on assumptions and woulda, coulda, shoulda and wind up in the end "shouding" all over themselves.
In recent rioting in DC, President Trump quelled the disturbances and avoided another Minneapolis or Washington State and quite a few since. The rioters lined up to do havoc in DC and President Trump stopped it by sending in the National Guard. It worked and the Democrats began the chant, saying that it was illegal to send out troops into civilian zones. With the help of the dirty press it almost sounded plausible. President Trump proved them wrong and they shut up, but immediately began a movement to make DC a state thus giving some Democrat governors the last word on allowing DC to be pillaged and burned.
