Perfect distraction from the Epstein files. He raped that little girl and he knows he did. He knows he can't undo that; but he also knows he can make giant distractions to it.

Another reason not a choice in the poll.

He is losing support. His tax on imports and his terrible treatment of ICE detainees are not popular. Posing as a 'crime fighter' is always popular, particularly with the Republican party. It doesn't matter if crime is already down. They fall for it regardless. It's a ratings booster as much as it is a distraction from

Epstein.
 
Not a single option worth voting for. :rolleyes:

IMO it serves more toward revealing the partisanship of the creator, but that's just my opinion.

I'll "write in" Other and leave it at that. :coffee:
 
It's beyond obvious that cities like Portland, OR are not "burning down," despite Trump's claims. So...why is he making the claim? What's the end game here?

It is the Blues states that are socializing THEIR OWN PEOPLE in to accepting lawlessness and the NORM !

Trump is PROTECTING law abiding citizens from the Fascist and Oppressive DEM's !

Go look on line FOR YOURSELVES ! The people love that Trump has made their cities safe FOR THE PEOPLE !

Trump is fighting for ALL Americans ! And the DEM's are fighting AGAINST AMERICANS !

This should becoming more clear as FACTS come out !
 
Is that why ICE rousted an apartment building full of families without any clear objective?
Unless you have their plans and can show us why what they did was bad, I'd have to say stop talking about things you don't have insight to !

If they got 1 high value target it might be great! But you have to realizes they are not going to let you in on any sensitive intel or the Ops, just because your in a tizzy over their action.....

Seattle's just about as loony as Portland; what's your point?
The Mayor of Portland publicly stated he would not allow the police to help stop the riots around the ICE building. Then the president said he would bring in the NG.
 
You left out "Because its a sanctuary city."
I imagine your choices would be:

Because we're tired of not being in charge like we used to be
Because we love power more than freedom
Because we don't have a clue what America is really about
Because we're tired of losing on intellectual and moral grounds, so we're taking power the only way we can

Always nice to read a calm, well-reasoned statement that acknowledges the subtleties involved socio-political issues without demonizing opponents.

Seriously?

At about 1:00 on Tuesday morning, federal agents from Border Patrol, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) raided an apartment building on Chicago’s South Shore Drive. Using helicopters and large vehicles, as well as flash-bang grenades, and dressed in military fatigues, agents broke down the doors of the residents of the five-story building and pulled them from their homes in zip ties, some of them naked. Agents left the people tied up outside for hours before letting all but 37 of them go. The apartments residents returned to were trashed. [Remember Trump bitterly whining about FBI agents "breaking into" his home? And they had a warrant].

Eyewitness Eboni Watson told Cate Cauguiran, Craig Wall, Tre Ward, and Lissette Nuñez of ABC News 7 that the people were "...terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other. That’s all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where’s the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, ‘f*ck them kids.’”

Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties.
Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours before agents finally let him go.

“I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up,” Johnson said. “I asked if they had a warrant, and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.”

And "small government," "freedom-loving," "conservatives" are celebrating this.

Whoa, son, ease back on the caffeine.

Steady on.

Your media sources are just a little bit one-sided. Ya think? Show me some data that shows out-of-control crime in Portland.

ICE is doing its best to stoke "crime" wherever it goes.

Why is Trump Sending Troops into Blue Cities?​

Because of all the items listed in the OP's Poll.
 
Trump wants chaos to erupt in Blue Cities, he is hoping for riots and looting and arson along side the legitimate peaceful protests of his actions, and his actions are intended to provoke chaos so he can exert even more Federal Troop activity on our streets.

Sadly, along with the good actors legally protesting Trump the bad actors are busily given him exactly what he wants.
 
Trump must rape american cities to satisfy his insatiable thirst for power. He needs the chaos it brings to the front page daily headlines. What we need is for The Congress to decide on the President's fitness to serve.
