    It really is perfect for trump. He can show how tough he is to his voters and use the National Guard to force his rules.

    As a European (UK) we have some devolution from Westminster that allows Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales to set their own rules on somethings, in a similar way to the federal govt in Washington Vs states rights.
