Trump's deployment of troops to Portland is part of a broader strategy to portray Democratic-led cities as chaotic and in need of federal intervention.

Trump really thinks that Portland is on fire right now and that all these Democrat-run cities are overrun. It's just everywhere and it's rampant.

Our cities are dying the kind of death born of chaos, where things just get so crazy and people literally die on the street.

Residents near the ICE facility in Portland are terrified of what happens when they walk out of their apartment building. The city selectively enforces noise ordinances, affecting veterans with PTSD.

The political landscape makes me feel politically homeless. There are good and bad choices in government, but current decisions, like those in Portland, are bad choices.

Antifa even has a safe house near the epicenter of the unrest in downtown Portland that local cops and local media know about, but nothing's being done. And it's this group that has basically terrorized downtown Portland and led to violent assaults.
