In order to justify invoking the insurrection act in Portland, Oregon, trump faked a riot with professional videographers, the military and hired extras.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
