In the city of Portland, Oregon, riots that began at the end of May as protests against racism and police brutality have continued for over 50 days.
Despite the ongoing pogroms, city and state authorities, represented by Democrat politicians, have criticized Donald Trump and the White House for sending federal agents to the city to restore law and order.
For example, the mayor of Portland, Democrat Ted Wheeler said in an interview with NPR radio station that this way Trump does not want to maintain law and order, but his own downgraded ratings.
“As far as I can see, this is the latest desperate attempt by a failed president with ever-decreasing ratings who is trying to keep his face in front of his constituents. He’s using federal police to support his candidacy”, – the radio station quoted the Portland mayor as saying.
