• July 4 Donald Trump criticizes the "new fascism" of the "extreme left"

Donald Trump remains steadfast in his war against the "extreme left" who says he is leading a violent campaign in several cities in the country. On Wednesday, he followed through on his earlier-week threat and announced the dispatch of federal troops to cities like Chicago and Albuquerque, ruled by Democratic mayors. In Portland, where protests against police brutality have been running for more than 50 days and the situation is tense, the presence of Department of Homeland Security agents has caused more violence . The city's mayor himself was the victim on Wednesday night of tear gas used by forces sent by Washington.

The decision is part of Trump's political strategy to keep his reelection options alive. His timid condemnation of George Floyd's death gave way to a profile of the people's vigilante. The Republican proclaimed himself as the president of "law and order" against violence by "anarchists" and "agitators" across the country. On Wednesday, accompanied by the attorney general, William Barr, confirmed the dispatch of 200 agents to Chicago after assigning a similar amount to Kansas City (Missouri) due to the increase in crime in the first six months of the year. He also announced that he will expand the list of cities in the coming days.

"We have already started this process and honestly, we have no choice but to get involved," Trump said. "We will work every day to restore public safety, protect the nation's children, and bring the violent to justice," he added. He also insisted that there will be no funding cut to the police , one of the cries during the May and June protests for the death of Floyd, and reinforced the false notion that his rival in the electoral race, Joe Biden, is against from the police.

Trump already knows that he will meet with the frontal rejection of the mayors in each of the cities to which he sends troops. In Portland, where agents had already been deployed to protect federal monuments, Democrat Ted Wheeler was the victim of tear gas , according to a journalist from The New York Times, during a demonstration. "It itches and it is hard to breathe. I can tell you with 100% honesty that I did not see anything that justified such a response. I am not afraid, but I am pissed off," he said after the incident.

The alderman is clear. "This is clearly a waste of federal resources and is becoming increasingly dangerous," Wheeler later told CNN. "We didn't ask the feds to be here. We don't want them here. They are not helping the situation. They are not properly trained and we are demanding that they leave."

In the same vein, the Mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, has spoken. "Under no circumstances will I let Donald Trump's troops come to Chicago to scare our residents." Martin Heinrich, a senator from New Mexico, stated that he is convinced that the presence of 35 federal agents in Albuquerque will have an effect similar to that seen in Portland .

The ad, dubbed 'Operation Legend' in honor of a four-year-old boy who was shot to death while sleeping in his Kansas home, comes amid escalating crime in various parts of the United States . Barr attributed this to the campaign against the police launched by the left, although experts have pointed to other factors such as the pandemic and the economic crisis.

Trump is clear about the epicenter of the problem: the inability of the democratic rulers to tackle the problem at the root. They haven't been able to apply a heavy hand, he says. So he will enter the scene to end "a surprising increase in shootings, deaths, murders and heinous violent crimes," he said. "This bloodbath is going to end."
