Trump Federalizes California Guard to Police Peaceful Portland, Chaos Ensues
In a plot worthy of a 2025 political thriller, President Trump sent 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon â slipping past a federal judgeâs 'temporary restraining order' like itâs a networking event at Mar-a-Lago. Governor Gavin Newsom dubbed it 'a breathtaking abuse of the law and power,' while Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, called the president's claims about violent protests 'untethered to the facts.' Portland's protests reportedly were quieter than a jazz brunch for librarians, prompting city officials and Mayor Keith Wilson to accuse the White House of texting in military deployments like itâs buying fast food. Bonus: Trump called the female judge 'he' and suggested she should 'be ashamed,' proving gender confusion is part of the presidential package deal.

When Trump sends troops to a peaceful Portland protest and insults the female judge blocking it by misgendering her, you know realityâs gone full dystopian HBO miniseries but with worse acting.
Deploying 300 troops over what's basically a Portland neighborhood book club on protest duty sounds like using an elephant to swat a flyâif the elephant also forgot which gender it is.
Trump's idea of public safety: Override a judgeâs order, federalize the National Guard, then accidentally misgender her during the meltdown. Tomorrowâs episode on 'How Not to Lead a Country.'
