Washington (AP) – President Donald Trump Tuesday night, we had dinner at a seafood restaurant near the White House and promoted it. His development of the National Guard And we will make the police federalized and strive to do so. Enforcement About crimes in the country’s capital.
His convoy made a short distance to Joe’s seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab, on 15th Avenue, northwest of the city for weeks, the president boasts mobilizing federal authorities and troops that he calls Washington a “safe zone.”
Cheers were heard as the president stepped out of his limo, but there were also boos and chants from protesters against US policies in support of Israel in the war with Hamas in Gaza.
“We stand in the middle of DC. As you know, last year has been a very unsafe place for the past 20 years, but now there are virtually no crimes,” Trump told reporters.
He added that he would not have stood out “in the middle of the street” as he did a few months ago. But the proposal was reflexive and in Washington, surrounded by heavy security wherever the president goes, it didn’t really reflect whether crime levels had changed in Washington.
After entering the restaurant, a video posted to social media showed Trump several diners shaking hands inside. However, he also raised the miniature Gaza flag and said, “Free DC! Free Palestine! Trump is Hitler of our time!”
The president could see them approaching them and gestures temporarily, but he didn’t seem to speak.
Since Trump first announced the federal crackdown on August 7, some restaurants have reported a decline in reservations, but street protests denounce his actions are frequently carried out. There is also an increase in military and police presence from time to time. caused a standoff Usually between quiet neighbours and authorities.
Despite this, Trump has been told by a friend who says that he is full of local restaurants, and has repeatedly said that people are aware of a decline in crime. He also says he heard people are grateful to the crew who work to remove homeless camps as part of the crackdown.
The president accompanied him for dinner was Vice President J.D. Vice President J.D. Vice President, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegses, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wills. In his comments before going to dinner, Trump said, “The restaurant is booming.”

After Trump returned to the White House just after 10pm, spokesperson Caroline Leavitt, who was among those who ate with Trump, said he had eaten crab, shrimp, salad, steak and dessert.
When Trump was in Washington, the field trip was notable as Trump rarely left the White House. And such outings have not been even more common since selling hotels with his name a few blocks ahead.
The White House reported Tuesday that almost 2,200 arrests have been made since Trump first announced the crackdown in Washington on August 7th.
In addition to Washington, Trump deployed the National Guard Los Angeles In June, they threatened to send troops to other, mostly democratic cities, including Baltimore, New Orleans and Chicago. There, state and local authorities are already supporting operations to rapidly increase immigration enforcement.
He said Tuesday night, “We’re going to announce to another city that we’re going very quickly,” and that could happen on Wednesday. He added that the city’s mayor and national governor “love us there.”
That continues with Trump’s post over the weekend Parody images From Apocalypse Now, a helicopter zooms through the lake front and expands the Chicago skyline, the third largest city in the country.
“I love the smell of morning deportation,” Trump wrote on his social media site. “Chicago is trying to find out why it’s called the Department of War.”
