You didn’t even answer my question as to why he didn’t simply send soldiers to Portland? If he didn’t then, why would he send any to the biggest American city?

It was a test to see if he would face a violent response. The response to Portland was very good, his forces met no armed resistance.

But that little experiment won’t apply to the whole contiguous U.S. I agree he may have been testing the waters but people responded, even moms. People had their eyes on Portland and people responded negatively to his decision to send troops. I’m pretty sure the citizens and moms of 1936 Nazi Germany didn’t criticize Hitler for that.
Trump isn’t Hitler no matter how badly you want him to be. I’m all for watching the signs of fascism, but you cannot sway me to believe Trump will be the one to lead the Rise of American Fascism. I’m sorry. He and his boys controlled the entire U.S government for two years and what did they accomplish? Tax cuts? I mean what did they actually do when they actually held all the power? Why not advance your fascist agenda? You’re already ahead. Because the goal isn’t fascism it’s more corporatism, plutocracy or an oligarchy. Not fascism. That’s bad for business. America is made by and for corporations to succeed and fascism would be a direct threat to unlimited growth if a leader can simply dissolve a company that doesn’t agree with him.
