President Trump is speaking to the press at a US Park Police facility in one of the highest crime areas of Washington, DC, after riding around the streets amid his federal takeover of the city.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Trump announced that he would join local law enforcement and military personnel on patrol in the nation’s capital this evening, as part of his administration’s ongoing efforts to address rising crime rates in the city.
The President told conservative radio host Todd Starnes, “I’m going to be going out tonight, I think, with the police and with the military, of course. So we’re going to do a job.”
The President is joined by roughly 300 men and women from various agencies, including the DEA, ATF, US Marshals, Homeland Security Investigations, DC Metropolitan Police, FBI, and National Guard at the The United States Park Police Anacostia operations facility.
Several members of the Administration are also visiting the officers with Trump.
They arrived with hamburgers from the White House and Pizza for the law enforcement agents and National Guardsmen.
