I suspect that's the plan.

Trump backed off Chicago on the advice of advisors and lawyers. Invading Chicago was deemed problematic from a legal and public opinion basis. Getting a green light from Lee gives Trump and his Flying Monkey Brigade the aura of legitimacy.

No need for the "Just Yield, Man' advice from Speaker Johnson.

Happy Days!
