According to the Worst "President" Ever,
Portland is “burning to the ground.”
The reality feels a lot different.
But how can you be sure?
A new website, isportlandburning.com
answers the question.
How?
Live cameras of the city,
fact-checked claims &
a live map of fire incidents in the city.

Is Portland Burning?

Ok for the 100th time. Democrats need to instead be reminding America they have NO POWER and this is entirely on the GOP to fund govt. entirely.
If they need dem help then ok but there will be a cost.
Is anyone over there any good at messaging?

This must be a parody account, right? They’re demanding a meeting! Schumer and Jeffries. A meeting with Trump. That’s what they’re publicly ‘demanding.’
Another reminder of why they have got to go:
