Trump about Portland Mayor: "they knocked the hell out of him""He made a fool out of himself"

3 months and week until the national nightmare ends

-----------------------------------
President Trump called Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler “pathetic” after the Oregon politician was gassed by federal troops while standing among protesters outside a courthouse.

“He made a fool out of himself. He wanted to be among the people, so he went into the crowd and they knocked the hell out of him,” Trump said during a prime-time performance with Sean Hannity on Fox News Thursday. “That was the end of him. So that was pretty pathetic.”

.... Mercenary Federal Storm Troopers.

He planned this and set this up so he could come across as the tough guy thug to his voting base. He relishes the fact that dem blood is on his hands, and hopes it bolsters his chance for re-election.

Crush the libs,... decimate the democ-rat party,... says trDumpie,... and his followers rejoice with great excitement and enthusiasm.

I have my disagreements with Mayor Wheeler, but he had the courage to go into a crowd that he knew wouldn't treat him kindly. Trump's response to that reveals so much more about Trump's character (or lack thereof) than anything anyone else could say.

He is saying that 'He wanted to be among the people' (he forgot to label the protesters as criminals).

This is an admission that he is in favor of using these mercenaries (I don't know what else to call them) against lawful citizens of the United States.

Totally illegal. I hope he rots in jail.

And Turd is proud of that? What an idiot if he thinks remarks like that won't hurt him badly in the polls.

tRump's Thugs are allegedly protecting and order them that they are not to cross that line to harass protesters. Send notice to the tRump Regime, advertise the warning on tv, newpapers, and through media. Warn them that they will be arrested if they cross the line and have the city swat teams, armored carriers, and police force there to quickly arrest all of tRump's Thugs if they do so. Throw them in jail and keep them there until they start naming names and disclose who is paying them. Then follow the investigation wherever it leads. After tRump's Regime is over, let any Federal worker participating suffer the consequences of their actions and wash them out of Federal Employment forever.

From what I understand, Federal Jurisdiction has become so expansive and vague, its very easy for them to come up with reasons to justify what they do. Spot a vandal, he crosses the boundary, pursue him, even pick up some others claiming its part of some interstate criminal conspiracy, etc.
