Trump Floats Invoking the Insurrection Act in Portland

Monday, October 06, 2025

Trump doubled down on his comments during a Newsmax interview that aired Monday night when asked if he would invoke the law.

"If we don't have to use it, I wouldn't use it," Trump said before adding, "If you take a look at what's been going on in Portland, it's been going on for a long time, and that's insurrection. I mean, that's pure insurrection."

MAGA calls for Trump to overrule judges on National Guard deployments

MAGA influencers erupted over the dual rulings, declaring that "activist judges" were subverting Trump's constitutional authority as commander-in-chief.

"We have long reached the point where Trump needs to openly defy these judges. Some random federal judge has no authority to decide how and if troops are deployed," The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh posted.

"At some point in time, the administration is going to have to tell these judges to go pound sand, or else we're not going to be seeing the promises fulfilled," MAGA enforcer Laura Loomer said in an interview with Axios.
