Hes in charge, that means whatever happens is his responsibility.

Why are you guys so anti personal responsibility?

lol when Trump makes a statement that he's ready to step in if the governors and mayors don't, he reaping the insane backlash we just recently saw.

it doesnt. but it does allow assembly, which the president stomped on to get a photo op with a bible at a church where he wasnt even welcome. but sure, let's let him and Barr magnify that type of idiocy. also, state's rights.

The 1st amendment doesnt cover looting, arson or generic kinds of violent rioting.

When states fail to protect their residents by deliberately not enforcing the law, the federal government has the right and the obligation to step in. This has happened multiple times in the past, just think of Eisenhower and the Little Rock Nine.
State rights are very important, and the qualifier above is a huge hurdle to clear, and for good reason. I dont think that states like Minnesota are at this point quite yet, and therefore that Trump's threats to send the military are coming too soon.

Nonetheless, he imho is absolutely right in principle in letting these governors know that he can, must and will send the military if the violence in their states continues and the local police and national guard dont get things under control (no matter if they fail because they're outnumbered and underequipped, or because local political leadership neuters them).
