“ I wasn’t served well by the people who pick judges. I appointed the judge, and it goes like that. If he made that decision, Portland is burning to the ground… all you have to do is look at the TV and read your newspapers. That judge ought to be ashamed of himself,”

Trump on the judge he appointed, who is a female.

look at the TV

Fox News has been rolling footage of the 2020 riots and protests in Portland. Trump believes that shit is happening now. He honestly does.

I'll won't get it 100%, but he asked Oregon's governor, Tina Kotek, "Are you not seeing what I'm seeing?"

“I spoke to the governor, she was very nice,” Trump said in the interview. “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.” article
