Trump portrayed his federalization of police in Washington, D.C., as a success, saying crime has gone down and people can now feel comfortable eating at restaurants.
“Everyone’s going out to dinner. They’re going out to restaurants. Your wife can walk down the middle of the street with or without you. Nothing is going to happen,” he said.
He welcomed members of the U.N. to come to the city to dine.
“In fact, we’ll have dinner together at a local restaurant, and we’ll be able to walk. We don’t have to go by an armor plated vehicle. We’ll walk right over there from the White House,” Trump said.
