Fact versus fiction is in the news today...again.
Trump's apocalyptic view that American cities are war zones on fire is right out of an online conspiracy theory based on zero facts. In other words, he's lying about what is really happening in his targeted blue states.
The first felon is so far gone mentally that he thinks his fantasies are reality and continues too blatantly deny the truth about what's really happening on the ground in front of reporters, who know he's spewing falsehoods.
Its apparent Trump is losing his grip on reality daily. His speeches are slurred word salads that are increasingly violent as he tries to install martial law in several states who are resisting his invasion of their souvenir rights.
In the span of 48 hours Trump tried to get the Oregon National Guard to flood the streets of Portland and failed because of pushback from the state and federal court. Within hours he tried to send the California National Guard which he had federalized into Oregon. Again, the courts stopped him.
A Trump appointed judge said Trump's claims of widespread violence and disorder in Portland were "untethered to the facts," noting that protests were relatively small. Two judges in two days emphasized that deploying federal troops for domestic law enforcement purposes risks "blurring the lines between civil and military federal power," which undermines the Constitution.
It's plain as day. The emperor has no clothes and is a raging lunatic trying to get Americans to see what he sees in his tiny brain. It's not working. Most people live in the real world and when he rants about burning cities that are not burning people begin to take notice.
It's important to look into the full context of what's happening. There's a broad pattern of the Trump administration's effort to use the National Guard to respond to protests in Democratic-led cities.
The ongoing legal challenges are expected to eventually reach the Supreme Court and will likely set a major precedent on the limits of a president's authority to use the National Guard within the states.
Seeing how this is Trump's Supreme Court don't be surprised if they give Don the Con clearance to go to war on American cities. I hope not.
As it Stands, all sane Americans need to pushback against the looming specter of martial law and a president who simply doesn't care about the rule of law.
