The following news report is from BPR Business and Politics, dated July 17th, so you can add another week to those two months of consistent rioting...
and you think the president is, and I quote you, "sending in troops to "provoke" violence!"
...after nine weeks of rioting!
How absolutely upside down and backwards is that?
Do you really not understand that rioting is violence?

"Major news networks have been ignoring nightly rioting in Portland, Ore., which is being led mostly by elements of Antifa and Black Lives Matter, despite the fact that portions of the downtown area have been under siege for nearly two months.
“For almost 50 days, Black Lives Matter Marxists have been engaging in almost nightly battles with federal agents outside the federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon, effectively turning the streets into a war zone,” Nick Fondacaro of NewsBusters noted Thursday. “Covering up the actions of the militant wing of their party, the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) hid their violence from viewers.”
The lone exception has been Fox News, which has covered the perpetual unrest for two straight evenings, Fondacaro noted.
In addition to covering the violence, the network also focused on the city’s Leftist mayor, Ted Wheeler, who, earlier this week, essentially blamed the lawlessness on the Trump administration.
“Today the Acting Secretary of Homeland Security asked to speak with me about demonstration activity in Portland. He expressed his concern about ongoing violence and asked how his agency can help,” Wheeler tweeted Tuesday, referencing Chad Wolf.
I told the Acting Secretary that my biggest immediate concern is the violence federal officers brought to our streets in recent days, and the life-threatening tactics his agents use. We do not need or want their help."

“I told the Acting Secretary that my biggest immediate concern is the violence federal officers brought to our streets in recent days, and the life-threatening tactics his agents use,” Wheeler added. “We do not need or want their help.”
In particular, Wheeler complained about the deployment by federal protective officers of tear gas and pepper spray after someone tried gaining access to a federal courthouse using a hammer."End Quote
FYI, President Trump is both brilliant and "crafty."

My theory is that Trump is sending in the storm troopers to incite violence. If one of the Homeland soldiers is injured or killed, Trump will proclaim Martial Law. At that point, he can cancel the elections. Citizens should continue to protest peacefully and carefully. Trump is not brilliant but he is crafty.
