An Oregon senator hit back at Donald Trump with a video posted on X, a day after the president said he would send troops to Portland.
Trump declared Saturday that he will dispatch troops, "authorizing Full Force, if necessary" to deal with "domestic terrorists" as he broadens his deployments to additional American cities. He claimed that key facilites are under "siege."
U.S. Senator from Oregon Ron Wyden shared a video in response, displaying an empty building with nobody outside, as sunlight beams down on it. Wyden captioned, "Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don't need you here. Stay the hell out of our city."

He’s searching for his insurrection. Classic rapist mentality: This won’t stop till he gets what he wants.

And no amount of innocence or 'good' behavior will keep him away from it.

I heard 2 people say it as long ago as 2017: "He won't go willingly" - they were proven right once already.

At some point he's going to get it, and then what?

Bet his staff keep showing him Battle of Toronto footage and telling him it's Portland (or LA, or Memphis, or Chicago, or wherever Donnie wants to send his toy soldiers today).
