I think the President may not want to admit the riots exist. From what little i know of his personality, he'll do the proxy thing and try and drown out the protesters and belittle them. He may stage things of his own design that have a very carefully corriagrafed setup. He'll try and deny, shutdown or censor opposing opinion.
basically like he acted before becoming the President. He can't match Soros dollar for dollar. Will he join up with other 1%'ers to confront them?
My question is how will he handle the press - this has been rather fun to watch so far
and, how will he weather the constant pushback against his positions. In business the CEO says jump and you jump or get fired. That just isn't possible in a democratic government.
