As to the rest: he's tried plenty to calm the situation.
He called the murder of Floyd horrific
He told peaceful protesters they have an allies in him
He directed his DOJ to conduct a full investigation
Peaceful protesters don't believe him. I for one don't blame them. Lip service loses its value as soon as a president starts to teargas peaceful protesters, threatens the force of military upon states or talks about giving a firing order. Also, I guess what Dill mentioned about his actual policies. The things you mentioned, I believe you that he did say those things, somewhere hidden between touting his own horn or blaming governors or playing tough or twitter-tirading against god knows what.
Of course I know you dismiss this as me not being able to be objective or think straight because of my agenda. Since that is so, I might as well add that Biden and his comments demonstrated way more ability to calm a situation down as Trump has. That would be my threshold for "done plenty".
