During a visit to Fort Bragg, Trump emphasized themes of American carnage and conflict rather than celebrating the armed forces. His rhetoric mirrored his inaugural address, focusing on unrest and using Los Angeles as a focal point for his narrative. By adopting a stance of a president in perpetual emergency, he framed policing issues as military challenges, suggesting extraordinary measures against domestic unrest. This shift in tone illustrates his consistent approach to leadership based on confrontation rather than unity.
With Los Angeles, long his favourite city whipping boy, in the spotlight... there was never a chance of that.
Confrontation on the streets of what is sometimes called Tinseltown... handed Trump the chance to adopt his most favoured posture - the president of permanent emergency.
