But his message was as simple as it was resonant: This is God’s house. We will not see worship cave to terror. We will not allow violence to poison the American discourse.

Powerful. However the media is ling about the peaceful protesters getting tear gassed. The FACT is Law enforcement ordered them to leave the area, the ones who did not were breaking that order thus they were no longer peaceful, they were breaking the command of law enforcement.

george stepontopofus said that peaceful protestors were shoved and peppered sprayed for the presidents photo op.

They were ordered out of the area and did not comply, thus they were no longer peaceful, they were disobeying a law enforcement command.

"President Trump has no interest in mobilizing Federal troops to maintain order in states around the country. Politically, there is no upside to having the U.S. military using tear gas, batons and armored vehicles against U.S. citizens.

He shrewdly claimed that he WOULD do it for one purpose: to make Democrats come out and publicly oppose it.

We are already seeing the result of this masterful approach. There are governors and state AGs clamoring to legally challenge the President to stop him from doing something he doesn't want to do anyway."

I agree with this assessment, plus I'd add to it. If you recall Trump's actions at the outset of the Wuhan Virus emergency measures, Trump was ahead of State Governors and big-city Mayors every step of the way. Literally every time one of those do-nothing Dems tried to point the finger at Trump as the party at fault, it boomeranged right back at them. Whether it was ventilators in desperate need, getting "scientists" to deliver messaging directly, to putting medical-care ships in NY and California to handle the hospital overflows, he literally boxed them in. He made these weak politicians accountable to the citizens of their States and Cities. And they squirmed like pigs, and squealed like little girls that saw a spider.

He's doing it again here - putting expectations and accountability where it belongs: on the Governors and Mayors. The left is now pointing out FOR him, he does not have the power to unilaterally send in the US military (unless he exercises his powers under the Insurrection Act). Simultaneously, the lefty Governors and Mayors are tacitly admitting that THEY have the responsibility to address the violence, and also own the results of their actions (or in-actions).

If the Dems (media or elected officials) now try to say that Trump is at fault for failing to prevent violence and looting, he just has to point back to those same folks' statements that he doesn't have the power to do that. Note also that Trump volunteered the full support of the Federal government resource to help if they need it - they only have to ask. Not only is this the way the law works, it puts the Dems in a tight-spot: again, either "owning" the situation directly, or asking Trump for assistance. We'll see which they find more distasteful.

These outsiders get some locals fired up just hoping someone in law enforcement shoots a local. Then they just stand back out of harms way and watch their dirty work. They take an active part only to keep the fires stoked.

One of my wife’s in-laws 2 days ago was screaming on facebook, her city (Minneapolis) was going up in flames, and she found gasoline soaked wood in her alley, and pray for her. Then President Trump tweets, and suddenly the bitch starts with The Fat Orange Man Is Sending The Troops - People Are Going To Die. I unfriended her - now waiting for the family fallout.

but then Hugh caved to the lefty “reporter”.

Yes, he did, but he still has to call Trump 'President Trump'.

It must give Hugh diarrhea.
