Like sending troops to the border to fend off the hoards of migrants arriving in huge caravans just before the 2018 election.It never happened and the troops were quietly removed. Or the fiasco he created with Kim Jong Un, elevating him to international status and then failing in every effort to gain an inch toward containing North Korea’s nuclear ambitions, all because he thought he could win a Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump and Barr created a crisis in DC with the military, and it was the military leaders who refused to go along with the further crises Trump wanted to create in US cities. So Trump created his crises using his secret police force. Most people not watching Fox News could see through Trump’s tactics. I wonder what he will try next since this one isn’t working, and he hasn’t been able to smirch Biden with his senility nonsense.

Nobody would connect the demonstrations and the riots to his administration and its "leadership" on civil society? That nobody would remember that we didn't have all this unrest until the Trump campaign found itself in trouble in the polls?
