The Northwest Nonsense
For a region that gave loser Kamala Harris a double digit win in last November’s Presidential election, it seems to crave the attention of President Donald Trump … and not in a good way.
Consider Portland, ground zero for every crazy liberal cause from Occupy Wall street, to Black Lives Matter and now, more recently for Antifa.
November’s winner, Donald Trump, has offered plenty of warnings but now he’s decided Portland needs his personal attention.
Months of riots and lawless behavior outside the ICE offices in Southwest Portland drew the President’s attention and comments yesterday in the Oval Office comments to reporters gathered there for a signing ceremony.
As Trump put it “nobody’s ever seen anything like it, every night, and this has gone on for years. They just burn the place down. And you know, the shop owners, most of them have left.”
Trump’s right about that. Portland now confronts major revenue problems because business taxes have dropped dangerously.
Portland’s Mayor remains defiant, declaring his city will stand fast in providing sanctuary for illegal aliens … and protecting the Antifa rioters who have endangered neighborhoods and driven away business.
Yesterday, the president warned Portland’s next on his list for a fix.
