A progressive daily ledger of Trump-world self-owns, legal pain, policy blowback, and bad-faith chaos.
Trump spent June 7 repeating the same law-and-order script: blame Democrats, blame the media, praise force, and insist the unrest was under control.

It was a pattern of escalation that kept generating new backlash.
