seems like it would be too hard to defend with FF attacks of protestors like done many times on revolutions, ukraine maidan, etc.
also would serve potus in a sense to get rid of the centralized swamp, we need to have a strong narrative and counter attack, (post event arrests/antifa) so it would not be losing the war, at most just a battle.
will be important to have some control of coverage because of the WW rally cry of success the communists would enjoy.
if potus comes out as supportive of the destruction, as a in a sign of the swamp destroying itself and relocates government away from DS to decentralize it we could flip the optics.
if it the best play to not defend it, Potus could announce
The swamp of DC just destroyed itself, the Government and Presidents Power lies not in Washington, nor the White House but in the People of this Great Country, and I am the President of the People from coast to coast
