It's great for the people of San Francisco that the president has capriciously decided to unsend the troops he capriciously decided to send. But the real story here is, per the president's summation of his discussion with Lurie on social media, that the Commander-in-Chief is overtly stating that he is basing a domestic military deployment upon what local "friends of mine" (billionaire CEOs Jensen Huang of Nvidia and local boy [ed: Hawaii resident] Marc Benioff of Salesforce) lobbied him to do. Trump also noted that Lurie asked him "very nicely" not to establish a military beachhead in San Francisco.

All for the good. But what if Huang and Benioff had been in the mood for a military parade and called for sending in the troops? What if Lurie had been less polite? [...]

There are only so many turns of phrase you can employ: This is just a profoundly fucked-up way to lead a country. It's like dealing with King George or a warlord out of the Dark Ages.
