Trump called the 'wall of moms' that formed to defend Portland protesters from federal agents a 'scam'https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/trump-called-the-wall-of-moms-that-formed-to-defend-portland-protesters-from-federal-agents-a-scam/ar-BB17eY85
President Donald Trump has claimed that the "wall of moms" emerged in recent weeks to protect Portland protesters from federal officers in the city is a "scam."
Trump tweeted about the city's protests on Sunday evening, also calling the city's protesters "anarchists."
"The 'protesters' are actually anarchists who hate our Country. The line of innocent 'mothers' were a scam that Lamestream refuses to acknowledge, just like they don't report the violence of these demonstrations!" he wrote, referring to media coverage of the protests.
He did not elaborate on what he meant by a "scam," or offer any evidence.
His tweet quoted a tweet from Jennifer Franco, a reporter with right-wing One America News Network (OANN), which was sharing news that a US District Court judge denied an order that would have prevent federal agents from arresting protesters in Portland.

Fat Donnie tells a bunch of lies trying to push his preferred narrative. Besides the fact that he probably doesn't even know what the work 'anarchist' means other than it somehow connects to Antifa.

Perhaps he means that they're actors or something - but I'm pretty sure they are real.
Seems like a pretty odd descriptive term to use.
