Presidents have power, but not when it comes to state and local police, that's by design.

When Portland was turned upside down by 100+ days of protests in 2020, we were VERY pissed at Teargas Ted (Mayor Wheeler). That was HIS fault, not Trumps, with one very, very narrow exception:

(making things worse - "Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf was in Portland during the day." it turned out, Wolf had been acting illegally - https://www.theverge.com/c/23172433/chad-wolf-homeland-secretary-illegal-tenure-dhs)

Things only calmed down when Governor Kate Brown sent in the State Police.
