Trump is not reacting to the protests - he is the cause of the protests.

6. he's using the same tactics he uses with the tariffs.

he never "backs down", but when he usually does, it's someone else's fault.

notice that there has been little word or news about the tariffs.

short attention span orange asshole is now focused on his new shiny object: the protests.

as fucked up as the tariffs are, the reaction of the orange asshole and the drunking warrior will be far far worse.
