What Trump is saying is: I don't care what mayors say, I don't care what governors say, I am the president, I will send federal agents to Portland or any place in this country. That is what a police state is about. en [] [] [] 484 2831 11021 [] [] https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/1286352241255907328 False https://twitter.com/AP/status/1286201286535380994 0 [] |
