President Trump highlighted on Friday recent reports that the Democrats are paying protestors to mobilize against his “attack on crime,” as leftists attempt to fight against his federalization of DC police and federal use of agents and troops on the streets.
“These are criminals who support crime,” the President stated. “They [Democrats] are unelectable!”
President Trump announced on Monday that he is taking federal control over Washington, DC’s Metropolitan Police Department and authorizing the use of National Guard troops to solve the “public safety emergency” in the nation’s capital.
Prior to his announcement in the White House press briefing room, Trump signed two executive actions, including an executive order to invoke powers under section 740 of the DC Home Rule Act and a Presidential memorandum directing the Secretary of Defense to utilize National Guard troops to clean up DC and authorize state governors to send their National Guard troops.
