TRUMP WON'T SIGN OFF ON PLAN TO DROP FAMOUS 82nd AIRBORNE
INTO PORTLAND
On Friday the Minnesota Star Tribune reported a conversation on the
messaging app Signal between one of Stephen Miller's top deputies,
Anthony Salisbury, and a senior advisor to Secretary of Defense Pete
Hegseth, The two men were discussing a plan to deploy the 82nd Airborne
Division of the U.S. Army to Portland, Oregon. Since World War |, the elite
82nd Airborne has specialized in parachute assaults into hostile areas.
But Trump had apparently not signed off on the plan. Weaver told
Salisbury that Defense Secretary Hegseth wanted Trump to give hima
clear order to send troops into Portland. “Between you and |, | think Pete
just wants the top cover from the boss if anything goes sideways with the
troops there,” Weaver wrote.
As Adam Gabbatt of The Guardian reported, Weaver said Hegseth
preferred to send in the national guard owing to potential backlash over
using the famous 82nd. “82nd is like our top tier [quick reaction force] for
abroad,” Weaver wrote. “So it will cause a lot of headlines. Probably why
he wants potus [Trump] to tell him to do it.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ib5koctqxghjussex3atvqlf/bafkreiderngr2jgnoozkkskdoy5bjvbusqb47njrem54dezfzmml7bqvlq)
