    Distraction or not, Trump is a coward who thinks deploying soldiers at a protest will make him look tough. It doesn’t. It makes him look scared and pathetic.

      It’s because he is. Him and most of his cronies are at a point where if they do not maintain power until they die, they may face extreme consequences.

      The good thing is I guess they know that. The bad thing is, when it’s that or maintain power, what lengths will they go to?

      Of all the things you could rightly criticize as cowardly actions, brazenly deploying a military force against a civilian population, is not among them.

      Edit: It’s not bravery/cowardice, it’s arrogance.
