That's because he asked him to hold off on his visit some to allow the protests to quell some. Of course, Trump didn't do as was requested and went for his campaign photo op.
How many voters will BLM cause to stay home?

What's laughable is the feeble attempt to smear Biden with things he has no control over. If a few jackasses do some dumb shit during BLM protests changes your vote to Trump, you just aren't very bright.
It was just the start of sowing seads of the protests. When you send in federal troops you are asking for people to opening resistant the federal government tyranny and over reach. Isn't that what Republicans want? Limits to government or did that go away too when president biff violated yet another law?
It’s not a hope, it’s common sense. Green, libertarian and no levers aren’t ones who can realistically end these cities from burning. Blue lever leaders seemed to be mum for months and even the mayors seemed to not want federal help.
6 democrat mayors from cities in Minnesota are voting for Trump.
Ok, keep believing what you will. Nobody is going the other direction. The all heading your way. Common sense dictates a landslide for Trump 😂
Rational adults understand that cops murdering blacks is a bit worse than the instances when BLM are being meanie pants. But, bigots don’t care about blacks being murdered, although they become hysterical, if there is footage of white patrons having their Applebee’s reservations abruptly cancelled by BLM and some dumpster fires out west. Bigots were always going to vote for 45*. Most other people have the right priorities and understand what’s more outrageous. It is very unfortunate that many do not. Not surprised, in the least, however. This is just another false narrative to blame liberals for the Republican party electing and possibly reelecting a monster. Independents haven’t forgotten when the innocent protestors were tear gassed by the POTUS and BLM isn’t going to make anybody stay home on Election Day by protesting against police brutality.

Um......the polls started shifting. Why do you think Biden finally said something about condemning violence? Are you serious
Most logical thinking people would think that both are not acceptable. In your world, it is a liberal vs Republican thing.
Another poster that has decided what the right priorities are and condemns anyone that might dare not think the same way. Only rational people think the way I do. It is really strange how those on the left have no ability to understand that not everyone in this world thinks like they do.
Have they?

You fail to recognizes Trump’s downward spiral and actions these last 8 months are a bigger story and mover. Now if he was normal and smart he could have used this more effectively. Imagine him trying to be a true peacemaker in WI or MN or OR. That would have made a big impact. Instead he doubled down on cultists.
You also are not accounting that the Dems did their part and nominated one of the most moderate candidates.
Bullshit the media didn’t cover the BP presence at a polling place or bullshit BLM will do worse.
Yes if we are having riots and burning down stuff right now what do you think happens during election night? keep the riots up till tnen keep covid panic up till then.
this failed in 2016 with ferguson. But Russia failed also and they keep doing back to Russia. The Democrats are not too willing to learn from history
BLactually should increase voter turnout against the WH. There are so many motivated people who have been apolitical and now are energized.
I think you'll see the minority vote rival what we saw in 2008 for Barack.
If there wasn't such momentum against the WH, Trump and his minions wouldn't be working so hard to suppress the vote.
Better days are ahead, Merica.

All three members of the New Black Panthers? Or was their membership just two?

That BLM will do worse.
I haven't seen where a city mayor declined help. I'd like to be enlightened. Do you have a link?
You are joking right? Portland and Seattle both told the feds to stay away and I could probably find Limks of Chicago doing it as well
The issue I have with absentee ballot voting or voting by mail is that in many cases those ballots don't get counted until election day/night.
I googled “mayor decline help from Trump”. Looks like a bunch.
Mayors of Major US Cities Reject Deployment of Federal Forces
The city leaders said unilaterally sending forces who do not work with local law enforcement is 'irresponsible' and threatens community safety

After Mayor Lori Lightfoot says she’s ‘quite shocked’ President Trump hadn’t weighed in on Chicago looting, he repeats offer to send federal help
Shortly after presumed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden announced California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate, President Donald Trump again invoked the law and order theme he’s campaigning on to rip Chicago and other big cities.
Oh great. False choices. You either need to be ok with riots and looting or you want big government. Fantastic points here.
And Trump keeps fanning the flames instead of trying to calm the disenfranchised. This is no accident. He believes that it helps his chances in November, for some reason. I personally don’t see why it would. This is Trump’s America and it doesn’t look good.
Not necessarily. Chris Christie met with Obama after a hurricane Sandy. I remember him getting a ton of heat from republicans. Perhaps, they don't want to be associated with Trump. However, I agree with Christie's thinking.
I don't understand how sending in feds to stomp out the fires and put everybody in jail is Fanning the flames. Sounds more like it is putting the Flames out.
If This Were a war which it is sort of... you send in troops and stomp out the people who are doing the deeds.
Obama used to Fan the Flames by saying black lives matter was a civil rights movement and if he had a boy would look like the guy who was shot... and so on and so forth.
I was perfectly fine before president biff came a long and lit a match to everything. Crime was at an all time low in 2016. Illegal immigrants coming to USA was at an all time low. There were not riots in the streets. The deficit was trillions lower than it was even in February. So tell me are you more safe now after 4 years of biff? Are you better off after 4 years of biff?
Yet the mayor/governor did request help from the National Guard before the President demand that they should. There is a reason that they didn't want Trump in town. He isn't known to quell violence with his words or presence.
Have they?

Yes, I agree banning flights from China and getting called xenophobic and racist by his opponent and speaker of the house was idiotic (sarcasm if you cannot tell).
Also previous to the pandemic, having low unemployment rates when it comes to black and brown people is terrible (dammit sarcasm again)
Beating a highly politicized removal from office attempt even though Adam Schiff had the “goods” (still waiting for this)
Economy bouncing back in a “V” like recovery when the economy was basically shut down (I admit, it was a great try and Biden is open to doing so again, so we have that to possibly look forward to)
As far as the Dems doing their part, they did indeed. Elected a man who sounds like he has dementia (this is actually sad, no sarcasm) and he had the sense to choose a running mate who essentially called him a racist within the past year. That’s just special.
Seems like he was a bit late to the party. Then in a bizarre act asked Trump to do the same?? Very weird.

I misinterpreted FAUlty's post as turning down financial help. My bad.
As to turning down troops - who can blame them? Would you want a bunch of federal troops storming your town?
