President Trump said Saturday that he was watching "very closely" as Portland, Ore., braces for dueling far-right and antifa protests planned for this weekend.
In a tweet, the president wrote that he was still considering declaring antifa, an anti-fascism group, a terrorist organization.
"Major consideration is being given to naming ANTIFA an “ORGANIZATION OF TERROR.” Portland is being watched very closely. Hopefully the Mayor will be able to properly do his job!" Trump tweeted.
Trump's tweet came as Portland leaders plan a major law enforcement presence ahead of dueling demonstrations expected to take place Saturday. City officials said all of Portland's 1,000 officers are set to work on Saturday.
Trump had previously threatened to designate antifa groups a terrorist organization late last month after a conservative journalist for Quillette said he was attacked amid rivaling protests in Portland in June.
"Consideration is being given to declaring ANTIFA, the gutless Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting (only non-fighters) people over the heads with baseball bats, a major Organization of Terror (along with MS-13 & others). Would make it easier for police to do their job!" Trump tweeted in July.
USA Today reported that far-right groups, including members of white nationalist militia groups, have said they will travel to Portland for demonstrations on Saturday.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler (D) told The Oregonian that he believes far-right groups organize in Portland, which is known for a left-leaning culture, because it guarantees that activists will respond to their events, generating news coverage.
"I think they come to Portland because it gives them a platform,” he said. “They know that if they come here conflict is almost guaranteed.”
With Antifa, government and liberal provocateurs, and hot-heads ready to rumble anything is possible
Regardless of what happens the Democratic Media Complex has their South (Anything But) Poverty Law Center 'cut-and-paste' handout narrative ready for publication.
They just need to fill-in the blanks.

Setting up like Manassas I.

Yep. Trump is heading them off at the pass.
Portland Police and Liberal Officials Target Pro-Trump Activists — Several Arrested, Warrants For Others Before Saturday’s Rally
The Commissars of Portland and Multnomah County are sending the police out to round up conservatives before a weekend rally. Several pro-Trump activists were arrested over the last week, with warrants out for others, as the state officially files criminal charges stemming from the brawl that took place at antifa clubhouse Cider Riot. Furthermore, apparently district attorney Rod Underhill is attempting to file these charges without a proper indictment from a grand jury. None of the antifa people involved in the melee face any charges, despite them throwing beer bottles at the Trump crew, pepper -spraying media, assaulting a student filmmaker and vandalizing his camera, and even wacking one guy with a baton as he was retreating. One Trump supporter claims he was hit with a glass of urine that got all over him.
So far Ian Kramer is in custody on multiple felony charges, Matthew “Deme” Cooper (of Airliner World and More on YouTube) originally faced misdemeanors of Harassment and Disorderly Conduct but now faces felony Riot, Mackenzie Lewis was arrested by the US Marshals on a charge of Riot, and now Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson is now being charged with Riot. Another person, Russell Schultz, was also picked up by US Marshals in Washington. Witnesses say Schultz was just standing around and didn’t do anything. Others who were there but not taking part, such as independent media, are now concerned that they could be indicted as part of the brawl, despite their passive behavior.
The purge has begun.
Meanwhile, not a single person involved in the attack on writer Andy Ngo has been identified or charged with anything. Far left activists have the permission and blessing from the politicians, police, and courts to do whatever they want.

“Yep. Trump is heading them off at the pass.”
Undoubtedly. I expect Antifa will exhibit their best behavior...for now anyway.
I await a serious answer, bagster.
Will AG Barr/the DOJ step in? It sounds like they’d better do so.
“Undoubtedly. I expect Antifa will exhibit their best behavior...for now anyway”.
I agree....if their handlers can control them.
And yes, they are that stupid. They do advertise like that.
When you’re a high level globalist planning these kinds of staged “conflicts,” what goes on in your mind?
When will it occur to you that manipulating the masses is an idea originating in stupidity?
Whether you look at the ultimate outcome for you, for those you’re manipulating, or at the underlying maxim: the whole thing is nothing but a loss.

I predict the very much desired sh*t-storm today in the sick city of Portland.
Are there any statues of past American figures being removed today as before ......?
The Mayor of Portland wants a sh*t storm. He's a pussy for the left.
**************
ps --- Are there any television networks covering this Portland situation today as they did meticulously in Charlotesville????
The actual event is less significant than the fact the President and his Justice Department head, Mr. Barr, stay silent on the masks worn. Their continued tolerance/silence is an invitation to anarchy.
meanwhile, Trump tweets.
Didn't we hear this from him about a month ago.
What the hey, get it done.
Time is approaching for "all good men to come together".
It's just left-leaning? Not violent far left wackjob leaning?
