I agree. This isn’t just about Khalil. It is an excuse to use him because Khalil doesn’t have popular support throughout the country. In fact he can be used as a symbol of anti Americanism. Trump, however, wants to go after protesters in general and use the power of the government to suppress opposition to him and his causes. The George Floyd protests hampered his re-election campaign, and he is old enough to have experienced the 1960 anti war protests, and I am sure he was aligned with the hard hats. He doesn’t have the capacity to deal with complex social issues. For him, It is just simply my way or no way.
