Trump Says He’ll Patrol DC with Cops, Military Tonight as Part of His Crackdown On Crime in the City; Trump Reveals Plan to Patrol Washington Streets with Police and Military Forces

Trump says he’ll patrol DC with cops, military tonight as part of his crackdown on crime in the city:

President Trump told conservative radio host Todd Starnes on Thursday he plans on tagging along with DC police and National Guard members as they patrol the capital this evening.

“I’m going to be going out tonight, I think with the police and with the military, of course,” the president said. “So we’re going to do a job — the National Guard is great, they’ve done a fantastic job.”

It was not immediately clear whether Trump planned to personally help apprehend suspects or clear homeless encampments.

The former reality TV host’s use of prior surprise appearances helped him frame his political message — scoring massive publicity during last year’s campaign by taking a shift working at McDonald’s and riding in a garbage truck.

“We’re doing a sort of a test right now in DC. It’s working unbelievably,” Trump told Starnes.

The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Thursday marked 10 days since Trump federalized the Metropolitan Police Department and called out the National Guard in response to a series of high-profile crimes in the district.

On Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth treated National Guard members to lunch at DC’s Union Station. --->READ MORE HERE

'I’m going to be going out tonight with the police and with the military,' Trump said Thursday

President Donald Trump is scheduled to conduct a patrol with the Metropolitan Police and the National Guard Thursday, following his efforts to federalize the police department and dispatch troops to crack down on crime in Washington.

"I’m going to be going out tonight with the police and with the military, of course," Trump said in an interview Thursday with radio host Todd Starnes.

Trump initially mobilized 800 D.C. National Guard troops as part of his effort to reduce crime in Washington Aug. 11. Since then, National Guard troops from Ohio, West Virginia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee have also been tapped to support the Trump administration’s effort.

Trump's ride along with law enforcement and National Guard troops comes just after Vice President JD Vance visited National Guard troops in Washington's Union Station Wednesday.

"We are seeing really substantial effects because these guys are busting their a--," Vance said Wednesday. --->READ MORE HERE
