Since the two politicians started their new positions in January, the Rose City's mayor has taken to Twitter to directly -- and sometimes more subtly -- rebuke the president's actions. 1. When Trump lashed out at a Puerto Rican mayor after a hurricane killed her people Hard to imagine, but we could be on our own after a disaster. Good thing we are planning at the local and regional level. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/914087234869047296 … President Trump on Saturday attacked San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz for "poor leadership" in a Tweet from a New Jersey golf club. She had criticized his him for his positive portrayal of the slow federal response to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria thrashed the island and killed more than 15 people. Wheeler was not amused. 2. When Attorney General Jeff Sessions visited Portland I am not meeting with AG Sessions today, but I did send along this letter. https://www.portlandoregon.gov/wheeler/article/655883 … When Attorney General Jeff Sessions came to town, Wheeler wrote him a welcome letter calling the attorney general's attention to how well Portland's culture and economy is doing and telling him to take his administration's immigration policies and threats to withhold funds from sanctuary cities back to D.C.
