The president keeps claiming a major American city is burning down. Even though that is not even close to true.

President Donald Trump told reportersat the White House on Tuesday: “I looked at Portland over the weekend. The place is burning down, just burning down.” Trump noted that an appeals court on Monday overturned one of the two rulingsthat have temporarily blocked his attempt to deploy National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, then added: “You look at a place like Portland, it’s just — it’s ridiculous, when they say that there’s no problem. The place is — it was on fire over the weekend.”

But Portland was nothing remotely resembling “burning down” over the weekend. It still wasn’t when Trump made these comments on Tuesday. And it wasn’t when Trump made suchclaimson previous occasions over the last month.

Photos of Portland over theweekend — including shots of an anti-Trump “No Kings” protest that was peacefully attended Saturday by tens of thousands of people — show a city very much intact and not ablaze. Portland city spokesperson Cody Bowman said the fire department was never even dispatched over the weekend to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building that has been the center of protest activity in recent months.
