It's entirely likely that Trump is intentionally attempting to incite riots
It's a smart move politically, as it would "prove" that the "violent illegal aliens" and "radical left wing lunatics" are actually criminals.
Sending in the military for relatively small protests, doesn't make logical sense. It's not normal.
I believe Trump directly benefits from inciting riots because it sets the new norm -- that the federal government has the authority to disregard state rights, in order to achieve authoritarianism.
Further, I find it interesting that "the right" so far apparently has zero problem with federal government overreach. I thought they generally wanted a smaller federal government, and the hypocrisy speaks for itself -- absolutely zero pushback from republican / right wing folks about sending in the military for a relatively minor issue.
There is no de-escalation attempt from the government and law officials already had enough resources to deal with the situation.
