      The authorities wouldn’t send the National Guard if they thought they could just ignore you. So i’d say this is a success.

        Trump doesn’t need to understand this for it to be true, but the gov right now depends a lot on opporating in the dark to get away with massively illegal and unethical actions that would harm public opinions and reactions. By forcing them to opporate in public with the press focused on the protests makes them face accountability.
