Again, you think Mexican vote left, you think he is mexican so he votes left. And if he votes left he is going to use this opportunity for a political attack.
You are not even admitting the possibility that he may he criticizing Trump because Trump, once again, acted nowhere near the way a President is expected to act in such circumstances.
More preconceptions not being challenged by obvious facts.

No, he acted appropriately. You dont let the country burn to the ground over some debunked political ideology all of these mayors bought into. Peaceful protests are fine, but as soon as they get out of hand, mainly due to outside instigators such as Antifa, you have to drop the hammer.
You dont let people burn down neighborhoods and destroy things. It was appropriate to breath down the governors' necks and threaten to end it himself with the military (which I would not want to see given the military are trained to kill, not subdue) to get them to act.
It is amazing that no white liberal, in this country, is seeing the gravity of this. All Republicans and Black Democrats are, but this white progressive intersectional politics is what caused these riots by either preventing the white mayors of these cities to be either too afraid to alienate voters or because they themselves are so far down the rabbit hole themselves.
The only mayor that had the guts to call the rioters and looters out was the mayor of Atlanta. IMO, since she is black, she had the foresight to realize that this destruction would only hurt her community, not help it. My mayor looked like a deer in headlights when he went out after the second night and got his ass handed to him by many black residents for not calling in more police.
Now, with that said, Trump's remarks were not about uniting, which was a missed opportunity. It is like when Patton got toasted for suggesting that every mans life in the army is expendable to win the war. Everyone knows this, but no one really wants to hear it. Same thing here, all sensible people knew the hammer needed to come down, but not really talk about.
Anyway, if it makes you happy Bernard, Biden also blew it with his speech yesterday. As Carl Rove pointed out, people want a president not a presidential candidate and Biden came off as the latter in his speech.
It's a damn shame, but there is a leadership vacuum right now and the only one being somewhat sensible is Trump, which is who will fill the vacuum. If the Dems actually picked a good candidate, they could run away with it after this.
