Over and over, when the president repeated lies that were debunked months or years ago, Llamas responded simply right' or yeah' or didn't acknowledge them at all, Dale wrote, continuing: Trump's rapid-fire dishonesty is difficult for any interviewer to handle, especially given the limited time they are given by the White House, and it's not uncommon for them to largely ignore the serial inaccuracy in order to get to the topics they've planned to address.
On Wednesday, Trump told reporters, "The amazing thing is, you look at Portland and you see fires all over the place. You see fights, and I mean just violence. It's just so crazy." The president went on to compare Portland to a postapocalyptic movie that features "bombed out cities." He added, "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have sewers anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows. But most of the retailers have left."
