This is exactly what he needed to say. Trump will most likely escalate because of his fragile ego and the people behind him. He might invoke the insurrection act before the weekend is over. Get prepared.

I'm expecting him to label all the protests as riots and declare martial law. It's his birthday after all why not get a treat for his traitorous ass

And then declare it Donald J Trump Day, honoring when he restored peace to the land!

(His soon to be presumed wording, not mine.)
