As for the governor not welcoming him with open arms, it’s perfectly appropriate. Trump needs to be reminded that all of this has happened on HIS watch, that he’s done nothing to ameliorate it, and that his visit is going to be somewhat less than helpful.

Yeah..
Trump told those people to riot.....
Must be his fault.

It seems to me that Biden will blame Trump too...
Even though - as YOU point out - Trump has done nearly nothing about the situation... Btw - what EXACTLY do you think Trump could have done to shut down the lawlessness?
Send in the Army?

Near as I can see the immediate fault is with State abd local government sitting on their asses waiting for somebody else to fix their problems....
How about addressing the grievances of the protestors? You know - engaging them instead of dismissing them as domestic terrorists. Maybe toning down his rhetoric would have a calming effect. Maybe he could stop hiding behind his I-don’t-know-anything-about-that mantra, when it’s his fucking JOB to know.
No, the riots aren’t Trumps fault, and I never said they were. But not being his fault is a piss poor excuse for sitting back and watching your cities burn as part of a re-election strategy.
