"idiots in charge"
And if they still do nothing? It is the sworn duty of the president of the U.S. to protect its citizens. We count on Dem mayors and govs. to do stupid things. The fed gov. exists to protect the average citizen from the mob and stupid local leaders. Allowing the mob to harass/restrict the rights of average citizens (even if they hate the president) cannot deter the prez from protecting their rights.
The fact that some people i.e. liberals won't like what he does cannot inhibit the POTUS from protecting citizens from the stupidity of their elected local leaders when their civil rights are denied.
Constitutionally, the POTUS is to protect us from foreign invasion. This threat is entirely internal, albeit heavily laced with communist and globalist influences. The Federal Government is not empowered to act in local (what should be police) matters. The Military cannot be used to police the streets by Federal Order alone, unless that is in the Federal District, and The Posse Comitatus Act may even cover that.
As we saw with attempts to dictate national coronavirus policy, the POTUS cannot assume control over jurisdictions within a State or the States, they have to make their own rules, and they have to enforce them.
If they cannot and need assistance they can
request the National Guard be activated to intervene.
That has not been done. Trump can do nothing, legally.
That is precisely what the Dems have been hoping for, an illegal act that would make an Impeachment stick in an election year.
