Even during the George Floyd stuff, the newsworthy events were just happening in a few blocks of downtown around the courthouse. Someone living in Portland not terminally glued to the news would have had little idea anything unusual was going on.
I guarantee you...someone in the White House is showing him a montage of footage from all the protests put together, and running it on a loop with a ticker scroll calling it the "Portland Warzone".
If true and I had to bet, I'd go with Stephen Miller
They are probably splicing in footage from overseas military stock footage too, because it isn't like Trump knows what Portland looks like.
