People in Portland are not immortal shocker
Trump said Saturday that he was directing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to “provide all necessary Troops” to Portland, Oregon.
In a post on Truth Social, the president wrote that the troops would “protect War ravaged Portland” and protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities that he claimed are “under siege from attack by Antifa and other domestic terrorists.”
Yes, it’s World War 4 out here on the left coast.
The president has repeatedly
spoken negatively about[trashed] Portland, including saying on Thursday that “anarchy” is taking place in the West Coast city.
Yeah there are no laws here, we just run over each other with our tanks.
“You go out to Portland, people die out there. Many people have died over the years in Portland. Portland is, I don’t know how anybody lives there. It’s amazing, but it’s, it’s anarchy out there. That’s what they want. They want anarchy,” Trump said during remarks in the Oval Office on Thursday.
It’s shocking, isn’t it. Many people have died in Portland. Compare that to your Los Angeles or San Diego, where nobody dies.
Last week, in separate comments in the Oval Office, the president said people in Portland are “out of control.”
“Have you seen Portland at all? If you take a look what’s happening in Portland. It’s, it has been going on for years. Just people out of control, crazy. We’re going to stop that very soon,” Trump said.
Can you be just a little more precise Mister P? Out of control how? Crazy how? Stop what?
The president has long been outspoken about his negative views toward Portland, a city that he declared in his first term to be an “anarchist jurisdiction.”
Hey you know what? I resent that! What about Seattle?! We’re every bit as anarchist and out of control and crazy as Portland, and we have huge bodies of water on two sides, and we have mountains on those two sides, and we have Mount Rainier.
Portland. Honestly. We’re much cooler.

Is there anything even amiss in Portland at the moment? A big emergency, a murder spree, unchecked homelessness? Did the wind knock some bins over??
Nah. Just one of Trump’s dopy obsessions.
Hey, this is supposed to be a democracy. If Portland wants anarchy, they should be allowed to have that, right?
Maybe just a little bit of anti-Trump sentiment…
As for bins, if the wind knocking bins over is his criterion, I expect tanks to roll down the streets of Lincoln any day now.
I thought that Trump doesn’t believe in wind. Didn’t he recently declare that ‘wind is bullshit’? So if bins are being knocked over it must be Antifa or Obama doing it.
‘It’s shocking, isn’t it. Many people have died in Portland. Compare that to your Los Angeles or San Diego, where nobody dies.’ Literal LOL.
Go and read Letter from the Portland War Front (humor about something deadly serious) by the inimitable Rebecca Solnit!
It will make your day brighter.
@Holms,
Rampant public transport and new ageism.
