Looks like your suspicion is right on the money. Trump just announced in his latest rally speech that he thinks it is probably better to not interfere at this point and instead basically let the democrats (and Antifa/Blacklives Matter for that matter) self-destruct and thereby exposing their true colors to the American people in what they are doing to the country and the people. Not such a bad idea I reckon.
On top of that Trump is now back on the roll making one big rally speech after the other in which thousands of people don‘t give a hoot about the Corona craziness and enjoy their time together and with the president instead. And all those people are clearly encouraged by Trump himself to ignore all the ridiculous rules. Which sends a pretty clear message too. So he is continuing his rallys again which was something we thought Trump couldn’t do anymore thanks to the „pandemic“. His rallys were and are one of the primary reasons that have gotten Trump into office.
