Trump falsely claims that national guard troops are ‘in place’ in Portland

President Trump falsely claimed on Wednesday that National Guard troops he deployed to Portland for "law and order" were in place. However, local news reported the troops were not yet deployed and require further training. Oregon's governor stated the deployment could cost taxpayers up to $10 million and is an abuse of power. The state's attorney general has sued to block the deployment, calling Trump's characterization of Portland as a "war ravaged" city "pure fiction."
