The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

267,000. That’s how many veterans are projected to LOSE their health care if Republicans get their way and take away these health care tax breaks. This is not how we take care of those who served us, and I won’t stand for it.
