Suppose you agreed with this. Suppose you agreed too that statues/memorials mattered more than Trump's failures on pandemic, economy, racial justice.
All below HAPPENED ON HIS WATCH. He's asking for a 2nd term to redress failures of his own 1st.
"Next time, I won't mess up!"

Trump has zero interest in doing anything about statues/memorials. He wants his base upset by and angry at TV images of commotion at statues/memorials. He wants to profit from disturbance, not protect against disturbance. He wants to yell at the TV, not do his job
Which explains why he blurs lawful civic decisions to retire/replace local monuments with mob violence, with nuisance graffiti, with the publication of books and articles critical of American history. It’s all about yelling at the TV, not about upholding any value or principle
