As Portland enters its 98th consecutive night of protests, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that directs his attorney general to identify "anarchist jurisdictions" of cities across the country that also have ongoing protests against police brutality and social injustice. Those areas would potentially get defunded, according to the order.
In the executive order, Trump said "Democracy cannot function" without law and order, and that Americans can't exercise their rights to a peaceful protest. The order from Trump states "property is destroyed, and innocent are injured or killed." The order also mentions the destruction of property during protests.
"Unfortunately, anarchy has recently beset some of our best States and cities," the order read. "For the past few months, several State and local governments have contributed to the violence and destruction in their jurisdictions by failing to enforce the law, disempowering and significantly defunding their police departments, and refusing to accept offers of Federal law enforcement assistance."

How much money does this cost them?
What does this order defund specifically??
Holy moley. Are the gloves coming off???
Well, the liberals love defunding public institutions who they disagree with. So they should understand the concept here.
Biden and the media will now accuse Trump of defunding the police.
Democrat New York Governor Threatens President Trump: He Better Have an Army to Protect Him if He Comes to NYC
Waiting for an 0bama “Judge” to block this order, so anarchists can continue burning and looting
Cuomo needs to have a sit down with the Secret Service to explain exactly what he means by that. Threatening the president is a federal felony.
Oregon mail in ballots will happen sometime in mid October.
If anarchist punks are still rioting, that would be the time for Federal law enforcement to make arrests and detain in Federal facilities.
Hold these Antifa scumbags till Nov. 4 2020.
I’ll be taunting these assholes after Trump’s historic victory in 2020.
There is an anti-fa base in each of these cities-especially Portland. The nightly rioting gives them cover.
Why give money to any city who refuses to stop violence cold?
Why give money to any city that does NOTHING to protect law abiding citizens who are just trying to make a living and travel safely on the streets?
Good for Trump!
Just by happenstance he is Commander in Chief...
I would love to see DJT command an army that marched up to Cuomo's mansion, took him prisoner and led him off in chains.
I’d wager he is hunting for a formula that allows him to decrease funding for lawless cities and States...every effort is worth the while in his endless fight against them.
When do we label them domestic terrorists round them up send them to gitmo and freeze thier funders accounts and bring them all to justice?
Gee, they say this like its a BAD thing!
