Trump Warns Portland’s ‘Joke of a Mayor’ to Clean Up ‘Mess’ or ‘We Will Go In and Do It For Them’

President Donald Trump warned Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler to “clean” up the “mess” in the city on Monday, or else the federal government would take control.

“Portland is a mess, and it has been for many years. If this joke of a mayor doesn’t clean it up, we will go in and do it for them!” Trump tweeted, as riots in the city continue into their third month.

Trump also addressed the riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin on Monday, claiming, “If I didn’t INSIST on having the National Guard activate and go into Kenosha, Wisconsin, there would be no Kenosha right now. Also, there would have been great death and injury. I want to thank Law Enforcement and the National Guard. I will see you on Tuesday!”

Wheeler and the president have repeatedly sniped at each other amid riots in the city, with Trump branding him a “wacky Radical Left Do Nothing Democrat” on Sunday.

“Ted Wheeler, the wacky Radical Left Do Nothing Democrat Mayor of Portland, who has

watched great death and destruction of his City during his tenure, thinks this lawless situation should go on forever. Wrong! Portland will never recover with a fool for a Mayor,” he posted. “He tried mixing with the Agitators and Anarchists and they mocked him.”

“He would like to blame me and the Federal Government for going in, but he hasn’t seen anything yet. We have only been there with a small group to defend our U.S. Courthouse, because he couldn’t do it,” Trump continued, concluding, “The people of Portland, like all other cities & parts of our great Country, want Law & Order. The Radical Left Democrat Mayors, like the dummy running Portland, or the guy right now in his basement unwilling to lead or even speak out against crime, will never be able to do it!”

Earlier this month, Wheeler accused rioters of “being a prop for the reelection campaign of Donald Trump.”
