If there is widespread rioting on and after election night, then what should Trump do about it? However it turns out, he will still be the president on Nov 4, right? If the democrat mayors and governors do not request federal help, should he declare a national emergency and go into those cities and clear the streets? Or should he let the violence and destruction continue?
Let's by clear about this, local law and order is the primary duty of the local and state gov'ts. It's their fucking job, nothing else is a higher priority. And if they won't do it, what then? What do you do with the arrested rioters and looters? Will the local judges just let them go the next day? What's the point if you don't have local cooperation?
My take is that Trump has to require cooperation and assistance from the cities and states before action is taken. Governors can already call up their state NG, Trump doesn't really need to do anything. He can tell the democrats that we work together or you can watch your communities burn to the ground. And he should also tell them that they ain't getting one red cent of federal financial aid to rebuild the damage as long as he is the president. You assholes watch all this shit happen, fine; but you can pay for your own dereliction of duty.
