    The more Trump tries to quell the protests, the larger they will grow. But he's incapable of de-escalating. That's an important dynamic to understand.https://twitter.com/ByMikeBaker/status/1286884473934503936 …

    Another huge crowd tonight in Portland, including a new "wall" on the front lines: a Wall of Vets. Here's a look at the line of military veterans getting set up here in front of the federal courthouse. Behind them, the Wall of Moms and the Wall of Dads are arriving. pic.twitter.com/gGnXHjI3k2

        It looks like the protests are going to spread to more cities tomorrow. The momentum is building if anything.

        It would be interesting to see what would happen if they DIDN'T protest in front of the building the Federal Troops were sent into protect. A peaceful protest in a park away from buildings to destroy. No troops would show up, no tear gas. Go figure.

        No. The police have been brutalizing BLM at every peaceful protest. If it's not the feds at a federal building it would be PPB elsewhere.

        He wants it to escalate so he can declare martial law. Putin’s playbook using mercenary fake secret police force. Portland is the start. Republicans hiding while American freedom and democracy is attacked. #GOPComplicitTraitors

        He doesn't want to de-escalate. Elections are nearing and he's behind.

        His ego is fragile. Every act of opposition to him causes a narcissistic injury. He's petty and vindictive too. He's gets sadistic pleasure out of hurting people too. He is only going to get worse.

        That's partly the point. He wants B-roll footage to scare voters.

        They always say Trump has to "double down" on everything. If a blackjack player always doubled down no matter what cards he was dealt he would go broke sooner or later. That kind of explains the six bankruptcies.

        He doesn’t care about vets. He wanted to defund and privatize the va... he’s slandered every vet who disagreed with him. And he’s draft dodger.
