(Washington) Donald Trump went to soldiers deployed in Washington on Thursday, to which he assured that his operation to restore order in the federal capital, very criticized by the opposition, was going to last “a certain time”.
“We are going to make (the city) safe, and then we will go to other places, but we will stay here for a while. We want it to be absolutely perfect, “said the American president in front of a national parks center located in the Anacostia district of Washington.
He was surrounded by members of the police belonging to various federal agencies, local police and federal police, as well as soldiers of the National Guard, a reserve body which he recently ordered deployment to stop crime according to him, which the local authorities dispute.
The 79 -year -old republican did not, contrary to what previous declarations suggested, taken part in a patrol.
He returned to the White House after giving a short speech and then distributed pizzas and burgers.
In his way always full of emphasis, he assured that he had “never received so many phone calls” for this security initiative, ensuring that he had spoken with residents who no longer dared to go out at the restaurant “For four years”.
“What we are also going to do is renovate your parks. I am very good for everything related to grass, because I have golf complexes everywhere. I know more about the grass than anyone, ”he said.
“Did you know that grass has a life?” The grass has a life and we have a life, “he continued, in one of the strange digressions from which he is customary.
Donald Trump had announced on August 11 that his government took control of the maintenance of order in the federal capital in order to “clean” it, even though official statistics show a drop in violent crime.
His decision to deploy soldiers fueled the reproaches of authoritarian drift formulated by the Democratic opposition.
The Republican President had already mobilized the National Guard in California in June, against the advice of the Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, saying that he wanted to restore order in Los Angeles after demonstrations against muscular arrests of immigrants by the Federal Immigration Police (ICE).
