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.”

      His handlers are showing him exactly what they need him to see.

      Same thing I was saying about Trump leaving in 2020. He might be gone, but the people who found him useful aren’t. Whatever we attribute to Trump, the thing to remember is that Trump is just the outlet. There’s a whole wellspring that is the source of his vitriol.
