    Yes Portland is destroyed i hate walking out my place.
  • @mattseth6653
    Yes he’s right. Portland used to be one of the best and cleanest city’s in the country along with the best stores. I used to always go downtown and spend money. Now I don’t go anywhere downtown. Portland will never change as long as these woke idiots are in charge and the woke media covers for them.

    I've lived in Portland since 1992. I lived and worked in the downtown core for most of that time. Donald Trump is 100% right. Portland is destroyed, and I don't think it's ever coming back.
  • I’ve lived in Hillsboro and Beaverton for 60 years. It’s sad what the left has done to this once beautiful city. The last straw was seeing the mob destroying the elk statue. I’m done with Portland.
  • What about all the businesses that moved out of Portland because of crime and vandalism?
  • Just got home from Portland and will never be back. Can confirm it is a disgusting hellhole. I do recommend everyone visit it once to learn what not to do to their own cities.

    Portland is the worst along with Oregon to live in.
  • Born in Portland Oregon and trust me it has been a nightmare watching it become unsafe filled with loads of people blocking the streets wanting money for drug use and camping out and stealing etc. We need police tougher laws enforced and to bring back what once was!!!!
  • I was born and grew up in Portland but moved away in 1988, I drove through my old neighborhood last year and wouldn't feel safe getting out of my car. The neighborhood where I walked by myself to grade school, the park and the library is nothing but a crime ridden sh*thole now.

    Only an NPC would say PDX is fine. The stench of urine and sheite still reeks in the downtown area… a real progressive’s paradise. 🙄
  • @RoadWarrior48
    Oh my! Sorry I think Trump nailed this one!! My home town that hasn’t been run right for years!! 😮😮
  • yea Portland is cooked its changed so much people are scared to go DT
  • Portland is broken and not coming back. We're asking the same politicians who allowed the city to decline to now fix it. I also blame the people because they vote for the same politicians.
  • @MA-ie6hl
    Remember when Trump offered to send in the guard ?
  • If only Dudley had won the election for governor...actually he probably did, the election system is corrupt, the reason I've not been a voter during my 68 years.
  • @bakajin1968
    Obviously you cherry picked the coments you showed. Portland is a train wreck and it isn't getting better, you get what you vote for.
  • @cohomesource
    He's right and all of us know it here in Oregon. If the people that you interviewed don't say the same then you selectively interviewed
