He had to start somewhere and he needed a lot of attention as he “relaxed another norm.” He has to be given the opportunity to chicken out now (I. e., increasing public demonstrations, failed BBB, a spoiled birthday party and dissension in the ranks).

Wait until FIFA discovers that during the World Cup events starting on June 14 they have to deal with travel bans, military in the streets in CA and DC. Ads new orders on the Venezuelans in El Salvador. Tourism to the US is costing $12 mil. What's the chance of FIFA moving the games or boycotts?

Right out of the Trump and the autocratic handbook, see: Hitler and the Sudetenland, LBJ and Tonkin Gulf, most lynchings in the US, response to various BLM protests.

Damn right it’s not! Trump has been itching to put troops on the streets. This is the beginning of the end of our republic. I fear a civil war is at hand.
