From the transcript
On Tuesday the 30th of September, American President Donald Trump spoke at a gathering of America's top military brass in what Time magazine described as a "deeply political address." Apart from criticizing his political rivals, President Trump reiterated to what has become a core part of his messaging, a belief that America was under attack from the inside.

Trump has backed his rhetoric with action, deploying federal forces to Portland to crush what he calls an insurrection and authorizing them to use "full force" if necessary.
Despite this heated rhetoric, or maybe because of it, the deployment has run into legal roadblocks. District Judge Karen Imogart initially blocked the Trump administration from deploying Oregon's National Guard, saying that the President had exceeded his constitutional authority.
