The “fact-checkers” who pick apart Donald Trump on a daily basis took exception to this recent presidential overstatement: “Portland is burning to the ground, it’s insurrectionists all over the place.” PolitiFact instructed that there’s a few arson convictions, but all the protests are “largely confined to a two-block area” outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.
