According to Oregon, Trump got the idea that Portland is on fire because Fox News illustrated a September 5 story on protests of ICE with video from the George Floyd riots in 2020.

Hey guess what I have some good news! This is from data I got this afternoon.
year 1 after Portland's fourplex legalization: 1% of new housing citywide
year 2: 7%
year 3: ***26%***
Some things take some time to pay off.
These delightful 20-somethings bought one of them; told me they love it.
