President Trump addressed thousands of Navy sailors on Sunday at a 250th anniversary celebration, but he transformed the military event into what he described as a rally. He criticized election integrity, media outlets, and Democratic policies while discussing his deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago and Portland against state governors' objections.
Federal Judge Karin Immergut, whom Trump appointed, blocked the Portland deployment and warned against blurring civil and military power boundaries. The president boasted about military strikes and troop movements to the young sailors while advisers reminded personnel about their constitutional oath before his arrival. The crowd responded positively to promises of back pay and raises, but reactions varied when Trump voiced partisan complaints and attacked predecessors.
