Governors’ Lose Their MINDS Over Trump’s Crackdown, Take Giant Leap In Rhetoric

Daphne Moon 1 3 min read

In a decisive move to restore law and order and protect federal property and personnel, President Donald Trump has exercised his constitutional authority by ordering the deployment of four hundred highly trained Texas National Guard troops to the volatile cities of Chicago and Portland. This necessary action, taken with the full consent and support of Texas Governor Greg Abbott, comes in direct response to the ongoing and violent sieges conducted by Antifa and other leftist terrorist elements against ICE agents and federal facilities. The liberal media and their Democrat allies, who have consistently turned a blind eye to the anarchy unfolding in American cities, are now revealing their true colors by opposing the restoration of peace and safety for American citizens.

The orders, which federalize approximately 2,000 Texas National Guard under the U.S. Northern Command, authorize their deployment to “Illinois, Oregon and other locations throughout the United States.” This strategic deployment is a testament to President Trump’s unwavering commitment to ensuring that federal law is executed and that the brave men and women serving in federal agencies are protected from mob violence. The initial deployment of 400 troops to the hotspots of Portland and Chicago is a targeted measure to bolster security and support the rule of law, which has been systematically undermined by local Democrat leadership.

The move follows a pattern of judicial and political obstruction from left-wing officials. After a federal judge on Saturday blocked the President from deploying the Oregon National Guard, President Trump adeptly utilized his powers by ordering California National Guard troops to Portland. This demonstrates a president who will not be thwarted by activist judges or seditious state governments in his duty to protect the United States. Predictably, the states of Oregon and California, along with the city of Portland, immediately ran to court to fight these new orders, showcasing their priority is not public safety but resisting the President at every turn.

The reaction from Democrat governors has been nothing short of hysterical and unhinged, a performance tailored for the cameras and their radical base. California Governor Gavin Newsom, who learned that federalized California National Guard troops were being sent to Portland, called the orders “appalling” and “un-American.” His melodramatic escalation on Sunday night serves only to incite fear and division. He was quoted warning of martial law, stating: “This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.” This is a blatant mischaracterization of a lawful action designed to quell violence that Newsom himself has allowed to fester.

Echoing this alarmist rhetoric, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker cried foul, revealing a shocking disregard for the safety of federal employees. Pritzker lamented: “This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate. We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.”

He continued, “I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation. The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.” Pritzker’s framing of this as an “invasion” is a dangerous and seditious lie, intended to paint a lawful president as a tyrant for doing the job Pritzker is unwilling to do himself.

In a powerful and patriotic rebuke, Governor Greg Abbott stood firmly with the President and the Constitution. He blasted Pritzker’s weak leadership, posting: “I fully authorized the President to call up 400 members of the Texas National Guard to ensure safety for federal officials. You can either fully enforce protection for federal employees or get out of the way and let Texas Guard do it. No Guard can match the training, skill, and expertise of the Texas National Guard. They defend our country with pride. America must also know that Texas still has thousands of National Guard assisting with the Border security.” This is the strong, America-first leadership that stands in stark contrast to the cowardice and chaos promoted by the left.

The liberal media complex, acting as the public relations arm for the Democrat Party, has predictably amplified the hysterical claims of Newsom and Pritzker while ignoring the violent reality on the ground that necessitated this action. They shed crocodile tears for the “sovereignty” of states that are actively enabling domestic terrorism, while vilifying a president who is courageously using his lawful powers to stop it. This is not martial law; it is the faithful execution of federal law, a core duty of the presidency that President Trump is fulfilling with resolve.
