This afternoon, Donald Trump addressed the media and announced that he was mobilizing the military and that they would be deployed to states that don’t dominate the streets and end the rioting.
After the speech he walked over to St. John’s Church that was damaged from all the rioting.
My fellow Americans – My first and highest duty as President is to defend our great Country and the American People. I swore an oath to uphold the laws of our Nation — and that is exactly what I will do… pic.twitter.com/pvFxxi9BTR

I’ll give him credit for having the balls to do this. It certainly pissed off all the haters in the media.
Some active duty military forces have already been deployed to Washington DC.
My guess is that the states with Republican governors will take care of the problems to the best of their ability whereas states with Democrat governors will dare Trump to send in the troops. Either way, Trump has drawn a line in the sand with this.
What happens from here is anybody’s best guess. We could potentially see anything from a civil war breakout over this, to a Donald Trump led American dictatorship emerge from all this madness.
