You have a president that calls protests over racism and police brutality a "laughing stock"
You have a president that glorifies violence against protestors
You have a president threatening punishments for protestors that rival the punishment for murder
You have a president who is blaming governors for the crumbling of the country
You have a president that hides in his bunker while his country is burning
You have a president that is threatening to remove your first amendment rights
You don't have a president. HE is a laughing stock.

I'm not sure you realize, but all the protests, which are heavily based in dem-leaning/dominant area will simply push votes to Trump right? Because all these protests are heavily against conservative values and it would do 2 things: push all the light conservative leaning people to vote to Trump if there was any doubt and light liberal-leaning to either vote Trump or simply not voting.
Why do you think Trump isn't saying a thing? First, it's not in his right. US laws made it very strict so that a president doesn't have over-reaching power when it comes to state matter (president is a FEDERAL position). Trump can elect to issue National Emergency, but that'd mean his actions would be nationwide and doesn't seem to be the case now.
To some extent, I agree with Trump on the issue. These governors are not doing their jobs by allowing the protests to get out of control. You can check the details, but I believe most of the big cities where major havoc is happening are democrats.
They have right to protest, but there is NOTHING in the constitution or the law that grants the right to loot and wrecking havoc if one's tired of the government.
It's the governors' responsibility to bring orders to their state. And Trump and his team are probably laughing so hard now. Dems can't stop it because of their "liberal" causes and the worse it gets, by the time it needs the "president" to step in, Trump would look like the hero in the story.
