Trumps unconstitutional acts against protesters

Are to change the narrative away from the virus, and for him to promote himself as a law and order advocate, and Biden as against the police and law and order. He's desperate to get the virus out of the headlines, and like he's done getting putins bounties against American service members with his approval , and doing nothing to Putin for it out of the news cycle. He's claiming peaceful protesters are criminals just like he accused immigrants of all being hardened criminals.

and gotta pray the protesters are smarter than that. The other worry would be agitators inflaming the protestors to take actions as this is typical of corrupt law enforcement, especially at federal level.

gotta stay strong and not fall for it/

This will backfire on him , and republicans . Promoting a hitler like Gastopo with lies against peaceful protesters , then to make claims against Biden as against the police , and law and order will only turn more states blue against him, and his tactics with his lying is working less and less now. He'll just escalate doing this kind of false self promotions, and attacks, just using other issues he can divide with.The American people are getting wise to him now.
