Politics donald trump portland
Donald Trump said Portland was burning to the ground and these 18 people who live there clapped back hard with proof that he’s full of it
The lying tour continues. Donald Trump was en route to the speech he was going to fill with lies at the Naval Academy anniversary celebration when he decided to spew a couple more lies along the way.
Here is the President incorporating his favorite method of communication (shouting at reporters from a distance under the dim of whirring helicopter blades) to spread more misinformation.
Trump: “Portland is burning to the ground. You have agitators, insurrectionists. It’s burning to the ground.”

It’s all a very obvious front to allow Trump to deploy more military to attack the citizens of the free country he rules. Yet another attempt to sell fear. The only problem is that everyone who lives there heard these comments and they begged to differ.
Here’s how the people of Portland responded to Trump’s claims.

FACTS:
Portland is not, and never was, burning down.
The only insurrection that Trump has witnessed happened on J6 and he watched it play out on the TV in the Oval office dining room
Portland is not, and never was, burning down.

He must think no one has television or internet. Either that or he thinks everyone is as dumb and gullible as his cult.
