If Trump had unilaterily sent in the National Guard while the democratic leaders were saying 'it's like the summer of love here' he would have been demonized in the press. Trump allowed the leadership who allowed this to happen suffer the consequences. As President it is not his responsibility to run cities or even states. He has a much more important job.

Logical thinking.

The idea is to push the distraught city people in his direction. Anyone who unquestioningly believes everything CNN tells them will absolutely never vote for him in any situation. Being a strong leader is more important for re-election than catering to media that will always hate you.

he's not catering to the media. He's allowing it to fail. Big difference. It was calculated. A deliberate choice.
