(1,606 posts)I think this is going to end up becoming police vs. police - local LEOs vs. Blackwater rent-a-cops in anonymous uniforms. The problem that Trump faces is that he doesn't have the manpower to do it, and the more that he threatens and blisters, the more that people are going to turn against him. He is losing legitimacy by the hour at this point, and at some stage the GOP is going to realize that this will only anger people who might otherwise be voting Republican.

(1,178 posts)Trump purposely said that to try and take the attention away from Biden's acceptance speech. He's purposely trolling. That's how petty he is.
