Trump referenced a weekend conversation with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, and he alluded to being told by Kotek that the reality in Portland is different from what's being portrayed to him.

"I spoke to the governor, she was very nice," Trump said. "But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place...it looks like terrible."

It's really whoever talks to him last I swear. You read that so many times through history. About a monarch being easily swayed by the last person they talked to. Always a recipe for disaster. Not that that's news to anybody I know. It's just surreal to see it in front of you in real life.

    The fact that his primary source of information is the TV (and only the shitty channels he likes), not reports from people who have actual statistics and data is unsurprising, but damning

    He's a fuckwit on his best day, and dementia sure ain't helping
