We’ve spent 20 years telling police they’re more important than us - they’re inherently heroes. We let them have their stupid flag that literally says they’re better than us. Them not willing to take any risk at all to protect anyone is the natural consequence of that.

This is halfway accurate but the other half is the more dangerous half: Trump simply doesn't care if anything ever happens in the world in the future at all; everything he says and does is bullshit that exists only for the sake of propping up his ego from minute to minute.
