A letter to the Dallas Morning News editorial page published this past weekend confirms what I have been saying all along about the beautiful city where I came iinto this world nearly 76 years ago.

It’s not “at war” and crime is not running “rampant” through the city. Yet the faker masquerading as POTUS would have us believe the city is being torn asunder by gangs, drug peddlers, killers, sex traffickers and assorted nasty individuals who find “sanctuary” in the City of Roses.

Nothing like is happening.

A couple from Dallas made their first trip to Portland recently and found it to be a most pleasant place to visit, to hang out, to enjoy a good meal and a smashing cup of coffee. Donald Trump wants to send in the troops to quell a population that needs no quelling.

I’ll just say this up front: Trump is a rotten son of a bitch. He is politicizing this issue beyond all that is reasonable. He is targeting so-called “blue cities” run by Democrats.

Portland isn’t crime free. Name me a city that is and I’ll consider you to be as big a liar as Trump himself. It is not splitting at the seams.

Let’s cool the overheated rhetoric, shall we? Oh, and how about getting Trump to work on getting government back on the job doing the deeds for which we spend our hard-earned tax money.
