Trump Threatens Cities with Troops. Why?

A photo of Trump's poll numbers from Pew Research, showing that 60% of Americans disapprove, and only 38% approve, of Trump's handling of his job as president.
Trump is threatening to send National Guard troops to Baltimore, LA, Chicago, New York and Oakland—all are cities in blue states.
Why is that? The cities with the highest violent crime rates are Birmingham, St. Louis, and Memphis—all in red states.
Not only that, but the crime rate in the country has been dropping for the last several years.
So what is Trump doing? For starters, consider that he is enormously unpopular—his numbers are sinking with Republicans and Independents as well as Democrats.
So he may think he can gain popularity among Republicans by sending troops to occupy blue cities.
But most Americans may not want military troops occupying our cities.
Trump may have an uglier plan. Sending troops to cities will incite massive protests and give Trump an excuse to declare martial law. If that happens, the future is anyone’s guess.
Trump is not correcting course to gain popularity. Instead, he is moving toward militarization and consolidation of power as a dictator.
It has never been more important to stand up and resist.
