So Trump is 100% responsible for the violence. The mayors and governors have zero responsibility?

Look, for the tenth time, I give Trump a big fat F on this, I think he should have sent in overwhelming force as soon as it was apparent that local democrats weren't interested in telling their voters to knock it off. I agree he blew it. I think he had the responsibility to act, and chose not to for political reasons (every burning building sends independents to Trump).

But there is no rational logic to let locals off the hook Pete. Except for blind partisanship. And we all know which one of us that describes.
