Portland Sheriff comes out swinging at Donald Trump

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Donald Trump found so many ways to debase and embarrass himself during last night’s debate, it’s easy to lose track of all the lies he told along the way. For instance, while the career criminal Trump tried to paint himself as a “law and order” president, he insisted that the “Portland Sheriff” supports him.

As it turns out, there technically is no “Portland Sheriff,” as Portland is policed by the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office – and it’s run by Sheriff Mike Reese. After last night’s debate, Reese tweeted this:

In tonight’s presidential debate the President said the “Portland Sheriff” supports him. As the Multnomah County Sheriff I have never supported Donald Trump and will never support him. Donald Trump has made my job a hell of a lot harder since he started talking about Portland, but I never thought he’d try to turn my wife against me!

So there you have it. By falsely claiming that the Sheriff in Portland supports him, Donald Trump merely ended up handing a bigger microphone to the Sheriff in Portland, and giving him an opportunity to slam Trump. You almost get the sense that Trump isn’t very good at this.
