I noted that so many folks acted as if Trump was out-of-touch
when he told Gov. Kotek her accounts of Portland were different than the fires and things he was seeing. I don't think he seriously believed what he told her so much as he was playing dumb as a way to lie about it.
He knows that stuff isn't currently ongoing. He is just choosing to act like he believes it as a twisted form of plausible deniability.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
