Riots & violence bolster Trump’s chances because the protests are primarily comprised of anti-Trumpers? A president isn’t tasked with demonstrating leadership exclusively to his supporters. If the unrest is from a vacuum of leadership then the unrest is on him. Also, fuck you.
To claim a leader has no role in the conditions that fuel and grow opposition to him is ... pretty ignorant. This was fairly non-controversial viewpoint just a few years ago. I don’t have time to give a course on why the buck stops with the President. Read a book.
No one looks at the American revolution and claims George Washington CAUSED the unrest. Last I checked, that era’s “protestors” were anti-King George and his dipshit leadership created opportunity and desire for dissent.
