President Trump unleashed today, saying that he was directing the Pentagon to send troops to Portland, Oregon to protect federal facilities
When I was on The Soul Trap podcast a few weeks ago, one of the things that I said was that we would shortly see a ‘Trump unleashed’ in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Trump was already starting to unravel, and in my mind it was a short step to seeing him ‘unleash’ now that he has a good excuse to do it. Today we see that President Trump is sending in troops to Portland, with the order to ‘use full force if necessary’ on the Liberals who inhabit that region. That’s the memo.
“And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.” Jeremiah 25:16 (KJB)
Trump announced on his social media site, Truth Social, that he was authorizing the use of full force if necessary. “At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” The Pentagon is aware of the directive but has not specified what the order will entail. Trump is unleashed, the only question is how far will he roam?
Trump Says He Is Ordering Troops to Portland, Escalating Domestic Use of Military
FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Saturday he was ordering Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to use the military to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were “under siege from attack by antifa,” a loose network of antifascist protesters that Trump recently called a terror group.
“I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary,” Trump wrote, apparently referring to troops’ authority to use weapons.
The announcement was the latest move by Trump to push the boundaries of domestic use of troops, which has triggered fierce legal debate over the armed forces expanding footprint at home. Trump is also using military bases for migrant detention centers and has deployed National Guard troops to Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., and on the southern U.S. border.
It wasn’t clear whether Trump was calling for sending National Guard troops or active duty forces to Portland. Their mission, he said, was to “protect War Ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE facilities.”
Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek said Saturday her office was seeking clarification from the White House and Department of Homeland Security. “We have been provided no information on the reason or purpose of any military mission,” Kotek, a Democrat, said in a statement. “There is no national security threat in Portland.”
A group of Portland residents has protested outside of an ICE building in the city for over 100 days, and their standoffs with federal police have led to arrests of some of the demonstrators. In a memo this week, Trump cited “riots” in Portland as part of growing attacks on ICE agents.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement: “We stand ready to mobilize U.S. military personnel in support of DHS operations in Portland at the President’s direction.”
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said in a statement, “The number of necessary troops is zero, in Portland and any other American city. Our nation has a long memory for acts of oppression, and the president won’t find lawlessness or violence here unless he plans to perpetrate it.” READ MORE
Trump escalates rhetoric promising federal intervention in Portland
President Donald Trump for the third time threatened federal intervention in Portland, saying inaccurately that the city is in “anarchy.” The president appeared to be referring to the ongoing protests outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in South Portland. Those protests peaked in June, with flare-ups off-and-on since then, but have involved no more than several dozen people in recent weeks. “We’re going to do a pretty big number on those people in Portland that are doing that,” Trump said. “They’re professional agitators and anarchists.”
