If Trump thinks this is a war zone, maybe he should spend time in Gaza and learn to recognize and feel the pain of real war.

I live in Portland, if my city is a “War Zone” I can assure you I would not be sitting outside right now enjoying a wonderful lunch with friends. People are enjoying a peaceful shopping day and doing their regular day to day living. This is a nightmare.
