Trumpâs National Guard Roadshow: Chicago, Portland, SF & D.C. Drama
In the saga of Trumpâs National Guard Grand Tour 2025, Chicago lawyers threw shade Monday, begging the Supreme Court to uphold a 14-day Temporary Restraining Order blocking federal troopsâbecause apparently DOJ 'failed to prove safety needed.' Meanwhile, Portlandâs 9th Circuit played referee, tossing out Judge Immergutâs orders calling Trumpâs 'war-ravaged' Portland claim 'untethered to facts'âso troops might show up eventually, maybe. In D.C., Attorney General Brian Schwalb warned Guard could chill until summer â26, while Trump originally stacked 800 Guards like overzealous party bouncers in August. Meanwhile, San Francisco turned troop drama into Netflix-level drama: Salesforceâs Marc Benioff flip-flopped on Guard support faster than you can say 'Dreamforce crowd panic,' and Elon Musk labeled downtown SF a 'drug zombie apocalypse,' making federal intervention sound like a zombie horror crossover.

Nothing screams 'public safety' like turning American cities into a game of legal chicken between Trumpâs Guard deployment and judges calling his threats 'factually untethered.' This isnât crime fighting; itâs political dodgeball meets reality TV.
Trumpâs idea of anti-crime: ship in soldiers like Santaâs elves stuck in Supreme Court traffic jams while judges roast his 'war-ravaged cities' scare tactics like a bad high school play.
Portlandâs courts just threw a 'nah, not today' to Trumpâs Guards, while San Franciscoâs billionaire mayor & Elon toss paper towels in the chaos hoping to clean up their own mess.
