The scandal revealed today is not that our democracy was corrupted or voided by the actions of a foreign power. It’s that the British establishment didn’t care either way.

#BREAKING: President Trump says he may send "more federal law enforcement" to New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland, and other cities to deal with unrest: "In Portland they’ve done a fantastic job." pic.twitter.com/Pe6aDv6AVt

— The Hill (@thehill) July 20, 2020

Trump has repeatedly suggested over the past few days that he wants to do what he has done in Portland in other Democratic-led cities as well.

"If they're not going to do it, we're going to have to do it," he said on his North Carolina telephone "rally" last night.

In Portland, unidentified federal officers are operating as a secret police force to harass protestors and violate their constitutional rights—and now Trump wants to use it as an authoritarian blueprint for further violence.
