PORTLAND, Ore. — President Donald Trump appears to be cooling on his plans to send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, according to an interview Sunday morning with NBC.
When asked whether he is still sending troops to Portland, which he described as "War ravaged" in a social media post Saturday, Trump said his administration will make a decision on that 'pretty soon.'
"Well, I mean, we're certainly looking at it," Trump said. "You can't have that. We don't want that. They're attacking our ICE facility and they're attacking other federal buildings."
Trump made the comments during a Sunday morning phone interview with NBC White House Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor.
Trump referenced a weekend conversation with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, and he alluded to being told by Kotek that the reality in Portland is different from what's being portrayed to him.
"I spoke to the governor, she was very nice," Trump said. "But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place...it looks like terrible."

WTF is he doing interviewing that sow?
So have RINOs and the deep state again filled out the ranks of White House staff?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trump trusts his people more than he trusts the officials in charge in Portland.
Trump will not let them burn and riot at ICE facilities without sending troops. He supports ICE and Police, not ‘resistance’ mayors. He’s hi-lighting the fact that their mayor is lying about conditions there to prevent Trump from supplying help.
This is the chance for the public to be appalled that their mayor is trying to maintain the status quo.
Trump offers hope of public safety and their mayor lies and says “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for....(Star Wars reference)

A local Portland TV News station.

Susan Wiles???? Look who Bondi tried to hire that Trump ultimately rejected in Virginia
BlondiBondi hung Halligan out to dry when she was forced to go it alone.
Apparently a lot of the videos on social media are from past riots…not the current situation
From what I’ve read, Sec. of War Hegseth has already authorized National Guard deployment to Portland for a period of 60 days.
“Apparently a lot of the videos on social media are from past riots…not the current situation”
Probably true since Trump looks to be backing off on making a big move on Portland Oregon. Twitter/X can be plagued by old videos presented as new. I have seen this during Israel vs Hamas videos and Russia vs Ukraine videos.
Weak....
I wish the FReeper trolls would use a /T tag to indicate they are trolling.
Kind of like the /S tag for sarcasm.
It would make these threads easier to navigate.
Setting her up for her to fall imho
Your name is Karen, isn’t it
I wish there was a Block function here
Because he’s a stable genius.
I am starting to think this is not unintentional. The Internet like other media is manipulated. AI coughs up graphic images of Charlie Kirk’s murder, that are not real.
The Media, it seems, has clearly also latched onto the idea of whipsaw “reporting” on the Trump administration. He and his administration plow ahead while the fake press sows uncertainty and doubt. It’s all they have left.
