Trump continued by talking about how bad the Portland “anarchists” were. In other words, Swan was “fake news” for accurately asking Trump about one thing because he didn’t also ask about another thing Trump prefers to talk about.

Trump told Swan that the courthouse in Portland is a “$600 million building.” He told reporters last week that it’s a “billion-dollar building.”

It cost $129 million to build in the late 1990s, the equivalent of just over $200 million in today’s dollars.
