President Trump is speaking to the press at a US Park Police facility in one of the highest crime areas of Washington, DC, after riding around the streets amid his federal takeover of the city.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Trump announced that he would join local law enforcement and military personnel on patrol in the nation’s capital this evening, as part of his administration’s ongoing efforts to address rising crime rates in the city.
The President told conservative radio host Todd Starnes, “I’m going to be going out tonight, I think, with the police and with the military, of course. So we’re going to do a job.”
The President is joined by roughly 300 men and women from various agencies, including the DEA, ATF, US Marshals, Homeland Security Investigations, DC Metropolitan Police, FBI, and National Guard at the The United States Park Police Anacostia operations facility.
Several members of the Administration are also visiting the officers with Trump.
They arrived with hamburgers from the White House and Pizza for the law enforcement agents and National Guardsmen.

Jordan Conradson, formerly TGP’s Arizona correspondent, is currently on assignment in Washington DC. Jordan has played a critical role in exposing fraud and corruption in Arizona’s elections and elected officials. His reporting on election crimes in Maricopa County led to the resignation of one election official, and he was later banned from the Maricopa County press room for his courage in pursuit of the truth. TGP and Jordan finally gained access after suing Maricopa County, America’s fourth largest county, and winning at the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Conradson looks forward to bringing his aggressive style of journalism to the Swamp.
