I think it’s possible those on his side felt let down. Sit home on election day if Trump is going to allow all this liberal garbage.
I know he had limits, but riots nationwide going on weeks? There is no reason you couldn’t insist on the big guns. TRUE “insurrection”.
Local cops and Feds are not to be trusted obviously. But Trump could have called in the National Guard. They were patriotic (or at least back in 2020) and they would have answered the call to pacify this country from widespread civil disorder.
Instead of using Feds in Portland, call up the National Guard in Oregon.
