The mayor of Portland says the US needs Trump ‘to be stopped’ after a fatal shooting during clashes between the president’s supporters and Black Lives Matter demonstrators. Plus, the FDA indicates it may approve a coronavirus vaccine before the completion of the clinical trial process

The mayor of Portland launched a searing attack on Donald Trump on Sunday after an alleged member of a rightwing group was shot dead when Trump supporters clashed with Black Lives Matter demonstrators in the city. Mayor Ted Wheeler told Trump to “stay the hell out of the way” as he accused the president of stoking violence, while Joe Biden also criticised Trump for “recklessly encouraging” violent unrest.

Not an accusation, more an observation ?

What happened to rational choice... Inhabitants of portland decided to burn it to the ground... Let them rebuild it.. May stop them from destroying other peoples property and businesses to the ground... Give them something to do, to put right what the destroyed.. Common sense.

He tear gassed his own city for months and is STILL doing so! He wants to speak out NOW!? Protestors have been disappearing in this city for weeks! Too little too late...

tedwheeler rightfully describes trump as the failure he has always been. TrumpRiots

His name was Jay Bishop and maybe the mayor should tell his fucking family that...

Think he got a point there...

Somebody has to kick this stupid mayor’s ass out!

He's absolutely correct. The only thing is the tactics will fool the public into voting him in again & to be sure the public are easily fooled. Look at our own politics.

He seems to be suffering from the common issue where people holding power also seek to deny any responsibility Psychopathic personalities consider themselves superior to others and thus beyond criticism. They often appear charming and congenial It's always someone else's fault

The Portland Mayor who has been in charge for the past three months while many of his citizens have been rioting/looting/fighting/stealing with impunity? Yet somehow it is Trumps fault? Delusional.

FakeNews

It’s still a protest if somebody gets shot, just not an entirely peaceful one, is it?

It is this fellow's fault as he let them run riot and destroy.

No wonder the Guardian is collapsing

tedwheeler is to be commended for speaking up.

Let me help you with the headline - Portland mayor unwilling and unable to maintain order seeks Federal assistance.

Good for the Portland Mayor. Trumpet mustn’t be allowed to get away with saying anything. Rebut. Rebut. Rebut.

Damn straight he is Trump is a shit stirring bigot

It's pretty easy these days to follow stories like this in real time, with multiple perspectives. So most people reading this already *know* that it is a gross distortion of events serving an ongoing narrative.

The DA is refusing to prosecute those arrested for the looting, burning and destruction of portland. Mayor TedWheeler refused help time and time again and disbanded the Gun Violence Reduction Team in June. 3 months+ its been going on with untold damage, businesses ruined

This guy is an idiot.

What a 🤡

Trump's USA is he inherited a nation with the lowest border crossings in years and the lowest crime in the past 50 years. Now we have caged separation of families, QAnon, increased crime and killings, inspired by DonnyBS's hateful rhetoric and taunting; it is going 2 be worse

Ted Wheeler, the wacky Radical Left Do Nothing Democrat 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....

This first number could now be 1, the last is 331. TrumpRiots TrumpViolence

Weak people usually blame others and never take responsibility.

Accuses? How about correctly states...
