President Donald Trump is vowing to send more battle-ready federal law enforcement agents to what he calls "Democrat" cities as he escalates confrontations over protests and conflates them with rising crime in some parts of the country.
Less than four months before he faces voters in the November election, and with his poll numbers in decline, Trump continues to portray Democrats as soft on crime while threatening to deploy federal forces across the country to perform basic policing services without the assent of local authorities.
The power of one federal law enforcement agency to seek assistance from others may give him the flexibility to send hundreds or thousands of agents into several cities at the same time.
What's not clear - beyond Trump's perceived political benefit - is why.
"No one’s articulating the clear national security emergency here that you pull in federal officers en masse, and I would think the general public believes these are all politically motivated," said a former senior Homeland Security official who served in the Trump administration. "It’s all politics. It’s all about what this president has done to distract from the real problems or to inflame tensions to appease his base."
The former official lamented "the hurt this does to the agency and the public trust over the long term when they see the federal agency engaging in what most people are going to see as partisan politics."

“Analysis”
FakeNewsMSM spends every waking minute creating anti-Trump “stories”. can they really keep it up until November?
Having been carried over from the Obama administration and then fired by the Trump administration.
I caught a second of cnn the other day. The title of the show was something like TRUMP Conspiracy Theories.
NBC andComcast are owned by the vile Roberts family. Everything they do if predictably anti-American and is designed to destroy the American nation.
Of course they can. The enemedia has had decades of experience.
They’ve stopped being, “News,” a long time ago.
They’re just another illegal political contribution arm of the democrat party.
With any luck, the FEC will go after them all.
(A guy can dream)
NBC News Analysis: Eisenhower spoils for violence with vow to deploy D-Day troops at Omaha beach.
The great pretense there’s no violence just federal agents going out to cause trouble.
As if.
Yes, I see... by deploying troops to stop the violence, Trump is “spoils for violence”
Right, Trump started and is continuing the violence. Traitors.
Comcast/NBC runs its news by the CCP. They have billions invested in China and they rely on China to run their Universal movies. NBC reporters are some of the few that are still allowed in China. They share morning newscasters with the New York Times. Its clear that they are anti-Trump pro-China. And frankly they are Anti-American. They program all your cable boxes in China. All your viewing habits are held in China servers.
Talk about Jumping the Shark.
Trump does nothing, they all say trump doesnt care about you and the violence in our cities, trump does something, trump is a dictator creating the conditions for more violence. I still say cut the head of the snake, they know who he is and who they are. Freeze accounts and funding to these activists groups, round up the leaders in the dead of night and send them directly to gitmo. Disrupt communications from these activists groups to thier key players. And finally let the rot continue in these cities, a reminder to all that live there that the rot you see is the rot you voted for. Want change? recall
The Federal Protective Service is there to protect federal infrastructure, services, and the people who provide or receive them.
That’s exactly what the FPS is doing.
And God bless them for doing it.
So now anyone is free to copy and sell NBC’s copyrighted material since NBC has publicly stated they oppose Federal law enforcement protection.
“Conflates?” That sphincter boy writer has a personal problem.
Trump is not spoiling for violence. He’s trying to control it!
This “reporter” is a lying dog faced pony soldier.
I don’t know how we beat this. We laugh about it, and point out “projection!” and “ hypocrites! “, but I truly think the majority of Americans reading or watching the nightly news believe ever damn word of this.
They have the megaphones, they have the platform to speak these blatant lies without any recourse. Our voices are quashed, deleted and banned from the major social media outlets.
The snake in your scenario isn’t the people funding blm and antifa. The snake is the media. The media runs this country.
