Trump blasts Portland leaders as 'terrible,' 'incompetent'
2020-09-01
[FOXNEWS] President Trump told Fox News' Laura Ingraham in an exclusive interview airing Monday night that if he wasn't president, "you would have riots like you've never seen" in response to Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Candidate for president in 2020. I had the great honor of being arrested with our UN Ambassador on the streets of Soweto, trying to get to see him on Robbens Island...
's assertion that rioting and violence in cities across America is a hallmark of "Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
's America."

"So if it weren't 'Donald Trump's America,' to just use the expression, as I'm president, you would have riots like you've never seen. The Democrats have lost control of the radical left ..." Trump said in the interview, which airs at 10 p.m. ET. "Don't forget, Biden wasn't going to come out of his basement until the election. Now, he had to because the polls are so good for me. Now, he had to because the polls are different."

The president also slammed Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler
...the incompetent but trendy leftist mayor of Portland...
as "incompetent" after the Democrat blamed Trump for the violent mostly peaceful confrontation that led to the killing of a Patriot Prayer supporter in the Oregon city over the weekend.

"Well, these are terrible and very incompetent people ... I've offered to send in the National Guard. I've offered to send in anybody they want," Trump said.

"I could put that [unrest] out in 45 minutes and it would stop. And I think the people of Portland and the people of Oregon, I know it's a liberal state -- considered liberal -- they're tired of it. They're tired of having of living with this curse."

The president added that he does not want his supporters to get involved in confrontations with left-wing protesters, but would rather they "leave it to law enforcement.

"But my supporters are wonderful, hardworking, tremendous people," Trump added. "And they turn on the television set and they look at a Portland or they look at a Kenosha before I got involved and stopped it."

Trump also responded to Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who called on the president to scrap his planned trip to Kenosha to inspect the damage from rioting that followed the Aug. 23 police shooting of Jacob Blake.
