President Donald Trump said he has earmarked Portland, Oregon as the next city for National Guard deployment after watching video of its “destruction” on television. Except the video the president apparently saw was not from “last night” as he claimed, but from the George Floyd protests of 2020.

During an executive order signing at the Oval Office on Friday, at which Trump renamed the Department of Defense as the “Department of War,” a reporter asked if the president had decided which city he wanted to “go into next.” Trump previously deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C. as part of a crime crackdown effort.

“Yeah, I have,” Trump answered. “I have. I’m not going to say it now, but, yeah, I have. We’re going to go into another place and straighten it out.”

Trump then went on to identify Portland, Oregon as the city the had in mind.

Complete mental meltdown. They used to call it "having a nervous breakdown".

1. Or Certifiable

How long can such a brainless bit of protoplasm be kept alive?

It makes me worry about the possibility of cloning, as with sheep.

[LiberalArkie]

2. I wonder who is speaking in his ear. He does not have the interest or intelligence to guess Portland or even Chicago.

3. "A reporter asked if the president had decided which city he wanted to 'go into next.' "

That's what passes for "journalism" these days?

[Bluetus]

5. Not journalism. Clicks.

Regrettably there aren't any hurricanes threatening thousands.

Unfortunately, there aren't any major fires raging out of control at the moment.

I'm sorry to say there aren't any serial murderers on the loose, unless you count a President that ordered the random killing of people in a boat for reasons he can't manage to state.

We could cover the ongoing genocide in Gaza, but our corporate offices took that off the table.

We gave our best effort covering Taylor Swift's engagement, but after 36 hours of breathless coverage, there really isn't much to say.

Caitlin Clark just announced she is out for the season, so we can't even do our usual 24x7 "when will Caitlin play" thing.

So, we really need some camera-friendly news with lots of explosives, smoke, helicopters and stuff. You know, journalism. Portland, you say? We're on it.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

6. Someone needs to get that person's name recorded

so that when the USA regains its sanity, she never works in the media again. It's not their job to sanewash ordering the National Guard into American cities (especially as a "list" ), let alone inciting it.

20. Pardon me.

On Friday, the residents of Jurupa , Ca. were told to evacuate due to a huge wildfire coming their way.

So there was a big story. They chose to ignore it!

Also, EPSTEIN!

[Bluetus]

21. They didn't ignore those stories.

They were just too busy covering more important news like Taylor Swift's personal life.

4. Ukraine cities?

[Karasu]

7. Literally deciding which American city to unnecessarily terrorize based on a fucking 5-year-old video. This is beyond

fucking incompetent.

If the GOP wasn't completely fucking compromised, the 25th Amendment would have been invoked ages ago.

8. Miller probably showed him a Roadrunner cartoon,

And told him, That's what's happening in Portland.

9. More than a breakdown -- completely batshit crazy!

10. tRump thinks that being in the WH protects him from being Confed Pres Davis while he is at war with US cities. . . nt

11. Definitely showing signs of dementia.

12. Not Much Surprise Here

The only thing that surprised me was that Oregon wasn't first on the fool's list of states to attack: Solidly Blue state with a lesbian governor who lives with her wife, both work to fix social problems, and both are Dems. Checks all of his trigger points. Not sure why he chose Portland to threaten, rather than Salem (the capital), other than the fool was watching a five-year-old news story that lead him to this stupid threat. Or, maybe Oregon's lower population saved them from his immediate wrath. Whatever caused this, it needs to stop NOW!

13. I was just in Portland earlier this week. It is peaceful and beautiful.

Stay the fuck out of Portland, Mango Mussolini!

[BumRushDaShow]

15. I am thinking

that some RW show may have been showing clips of Portland from back in 2020 when they had all those protests that were hijacked by Black Bloc and other extremists, and he thought that was going on "right now" and convinced his dementia brain that it was "current".

[SunSeeker]

17. Even in 2020, the destructive protests covered only a few blocks, not the whole city.

And yes, it was Black Bloc fuckwits, not BLM.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Oh I know

But since he watches Faux Snooze, they manipulate how they show the video images - just like what they did to what was going on in L.A., where Karen Bass kept telling people over and over that those immigration protests were only happening in a few square blocks of what is a HUGE sprawling city. But the media depicted it as if the whole city was up in flames.

16. Not just fallen out of his tree

but washed out to sea!
