PRESIDENT TRUMP DENIES THE REAL REASON FOR THE PORTLAND PROTEST
BY: Derek Varsalona
President Trump must be living in La La Land. He seems to forget the real reason for the Portland Protest that has besieged the city of Portland. The protest in Portland, I believe, is going on because the government itself, under President Trump has become radicalized and is an abuse and overreach of power by President Trump and his administration. The fact of the matter is that over-federalization is causing this violence to occur.
I agree that the local government can not handle the crisis in Portland. But it is not the federal government's role to stop and squash the violence. The fact of the matter is, the poor people are protesting since they are needy, and let's face i,t their lives suck. They are sick of the rich people becoming more powerful, and the poor class gets left further behind.
What is going on in Portland is a protest that has turned into anarchy. But President Trump by federalizing the event by bringing in the National Guard to stop the violence, is federalizing the process and is not going to stop the violence. It is only going to create more violence, more bloodshed, and more horror in the streets of Portland.
The solution is that President Trump should withdraw from Portland and only intervene when necessary. Let the chips fall when they are asked by Portland Mayor Keith Wilson and the City Council to request assistance. As always, comments welcome.
