Trump referenced a weekend conversation with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, and he alluded to being told by Kotek that the reality in Portland is different from what’s being portrayed to him.

“I spoke to the governor, she was very nice,” Trump said. “But I said, ‘Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening? My people tell me different.’ They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place…it looks like terrible.”

    Peter Thiel is ultimately behind the Fascism. Others, too, but he’s the biggest player bankrolling and planning things.

    He planted Vance to be the Wormtongue in Trump’s ear, until it’s time for him to take his place.

    Vance is far more dangerous than Trump.

    Trump barely knows what’s going on. He’s a useful idiot.

      The name Peter Thiel bears mentioning as much as possible. Only relatively recently have I learned that he tried that shit during Trump1.0 already but it was too extreme for them back then.

      I think Steven Miller is pulling a lot of the strings.

      Early on in the presidency he was reported as the guy basically first and last to be with trump each day.
