So, here we are—President Trump is busy playing crisis commander again, this time ordering federal troops to descend on Portland, all while the city’s still trying to figure out what set fire to Ice Cube’s tour bus just days after the rapper rocked the Moda Center. You gotta wonder—did the stars align for this fiery drama, or is Mercury in retrograde messing with everyone’s plans? With the Sun riding high in Scorpio’s intensity zone, secrets might be burning just as fiercely as that bus tire, and tensions are about to hit their peak. Trump’s call to arms echoes his 2020 Portland showdown, rekindling old grudges and sparking fresh outrage from city officials who’d rather handle their own mess, thank you very much. Meanwhile, Ice Cube’s playing it cool, dismissing the attack as the work of a coward, but the question hanging in the air is: how long before Portland becomes ground zero for another national spectacle? Buckle up—this showdown’s got more layers than a mixtape drop. LEARN MORE.
President Trump authorized a federal troop deployment to Portland as investigators continue looking into a fire that scorched Ice Cube‘s tour bus just days after his performance in the city.
In a post on Truth Social Saturday, President Trump wrote, “I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary.”
The move comes as Portland Fire & Rescue continues its investigation into the blaze that broke out on the front passenger tire of Ice Cube’s chartered vehicle on Tuesday (September 22).
The 56-year-old Hip-Hop icon had just wrapped a show at the Moda Center the night before as part of his “Truth to Power” tour. Through a representative, Ice Cube said, “I’m not taking this incident as a personal attack. A coward like that would burn anybody’s property that was out there at the time.”
Trump’s decision to deploy troops echoes his 2020 response to protests in Portland, when federal agents were sent to the city during months of unrest.
That earlier deployment led to repeated clashes between demonstrators and federal officers, drawing national attention and criticism.
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson has pushed back against federal involvement. “I have not asked for – and do not need – federal intervention,” he said earlier this month.
On Thursday, Trump hinted at the upcoming action, telling reporters, “We’re going to get out there and we’re going to do a pretty big number on those people in Portland.” He referred to the targets as “professional agitators and anarchists.”
Trump has repeatedly described Portland in bleak terms, once calling it “like living in hell.” He also signed an order this week designating antifa as a domestic terrorist group.
Portland Fire & Rescue has not released any new updates on the tour bus fire as of Saturday.
