Why Trump spared San Francisco

Daniel Lurie still won’t say Donald Trump’s name. But on Thursday, that deliberate omission — a strategy ridiculed by progressives in his liberal city — appeared to spare San Francisco from the president’s wrath. Trump’s about-face — calling off a “surge” of federal agents here after a late-night call with Lurie, when Trump said the San Francisco mayor “asked very nicely” that he back down — marked a major departure from Trump’s smashmouth approach to America’s big, blue cities.
