  President Donald Trump, breaking with U.S. norms, is using the Justice Department to pursue his political enemies, going after liberal and progressive foundations and NGOs, and sending more troops to another American city to intimidate protestors. He has fired Justice Department attorneys who are unwilling to put his orders above the law and replaced them with flunkeys who will carry out his demands. He has promised “retribution” to his high-level political opponents and is now meting it out.

To carry out his campaign against Antifa he is sending troops to Portland, Oregon.
