The morning after a man died amid conflicts between pro-Trump demonstrators and Black Lives Matter supporters, Mayor Ted Wheeler blamed President Donald Trump for inciting hatred and violence.
you seriously wonder, Mr. President, why this is the first time in decades that America has seen this level of violence?” Wheeler said. “It’s you who have created the hate and the division.”
He further revealed that “what America needs is for you to stop”
And commented that he was expecting the president to say “Let’s work together”
Which looks like the Portland mayor is trying to bite and cover the wounds he is inflicting on the president.
Wheeler addressed the president by name several times during his Sunday afternoon news conference, and offered to work with him to reduce the chance of violence: “Wouldn’t that be a message?” he said. “Donald Trump and Ted Wheeler working together to help move this country forward. Why don’t we try that?”
Trump was apparently watching. In real time, the president responded on Twitter: “Ted Wheeler, the wacky Radical Left Do Nothing Mayor of Portland, who has watched great death and destruction of his City during his tenure, thinks this lawless situation should go on forever. Wrong! Portland will never recover with a fool for a Mayor.”
On Friday, Wheeler issued an open letter to Trump demanding that the president stay away from Portland: “We don’t need your politics of division and demagoguery. Portlanders are onto you,” he wrote. “… We know you’ve reached the conclusion that images of violence or vandalism are your only ticket to reelection.”
Although some are of the opinion that the president trying to help the issue by earlier requesting to send federal troops are his way of campaigning for presidency in the future and much anticipated election.
