Donald Trump held a press conference in the Oval Office last night to talk about his ‘crime surge’ – and there’s plenty more going on in Trump World
Donald Trump summoned the press to the Oval Office last night, boasting about the success of his crime crackdown, writes Mikey Smith.
FBI director Kash Patel was full of admiration for Trump as they both took credit for the recent decrease in violent crime rates. For instance, Memphis had already reached a 25-year low in overall crime before Trump’s task force was even introduced.
Yet, Patel continued to heap praise on Trump, crediting him with the achievement: “You did that in SEVEN MONTHS because you let good cops be cops.” It comes in a week where Trump was blasted for ‘incensitive and sick’ remarks about a fallen friend.
One statistic that has indeed increased is the number of arrests in areas targeted by Trump – but the quality of these arrests and their potential to result in convictions remains uncertain, reports the Mirror.
Regardless, Trump seems to have developed an appetite for it. After a chat with Egyptian president Abdel Fattah El-Sisi over the weekend, he enthusiastically praised the low crime rates under the often brutally authoritarian regime.
Trump and Patel then assured – or perhaps warned – that there’s more to come.
“Now it’s like a passion for me,” Trump declared, stating that his actions were “many many steps above” what he’d promised and “we’re just at the start.”
He’s started referring to it as “the surge”.
So, brace yourselves, San Francisco, Boston, Baltimore, New Orleans, New York…you might be next.
Meanwhile in Trump world
- Trump is ‘planning to launch missiles at California
- Stephen Miller’s ‘true feelings’ might be a little too much for prime time
- Mamdani sent a defiant message to Trump on his home turf
- Pam Bondi says Antifa is real because people have the same placards
- The kids who beat up Big Balls got sentenced
- He unveiled the Arc De Trump
- And he said he “hopes” more of his enemies will be investigated…while standing right next to the Attorney General
Everything is fine. Here’s what you need to know.
The Surge
1. Trump Allegedly Plans to ‘Launch Missiles at California’.
A shocking report from Meidas News suggests that Donald Trump is planning to order a major road closure this Friday and Saturday, with the intention of launching missiles at California. The plans are reportedly being finalized for two days of events, under the guise of celebrating the 250th anniversary of the US Marine Corps.
Alongside a “vanity parade”, it’s alleged that Navy warships will fire live missiles into Camp Pendleton as a “show of force”. JD Vance is expected to attend, and the timing of the parade seems to coincide with the No Kings protests planned across the country this weekend.
2. Stephen Miller’s True Feelings Might Be ‘Too Much’.
During last night’s Oval Office Q&A, Trump gave a revealing shoutout to the White House’s deputy prince of darkness, Stephen Miller. “I want to thank Stephen Miller,” he said.
“I would love to have him come up and explain his true feelings. Maybe not his truest feelings. That might be going a little too far.”
If you’re interested in learning about some of Stephen Miller’s truest feelings, Jean Guerrero’s book “Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump and the White Nationalist Agenda” comes highly recommended. It’s both excellent and chilling.
3. Mamdani Sends Defiant Message to Trump on Fox News.
Many were surprised to see New York mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani appear on Fox News yesterday.
However, his intentions became clear when he addressed the president directly during the interview.
“I just want to speak directly to the president,” he declared.
