'I'm fighting crime, they say I'm a dictator!' - Trump as Democrats slam DC crackdown - video Dailymotion

Capital FM Kenya

US President Donald Trump said he was trying to fight crime in Washington DC but had been branded a 'dictator' by opponents for his efforts, during an event at Kennedy Centre in Washington DC on Wednesday.  "Already, they're saying, he's a dictator. The place is going to hell and we've got to stop it. So instead of saying he's a dictator, they should say we're going to join him and make Washington safe. But they say he's a dictator. And then they end up getting mugged, and, you know, but the stats are very bad," he claimed.  Earlier this week, Trump announced that DC policing would be taken under direct federal control, and that he could deploy the National Guard under his latest crime crackdown. The local authorities claim that violent crime is at an all-time low.  Credit: The White House

00:00We have the right location, and soon we will be a crime-free area.

00:05This is going to be a crime-free area, by the way.

00:08You'll be able to go out.

00:09People tell me they can't run anymore.

00:11They're just afraid.

00:13And they'll be running again.

00:14We're going to have a crime-free.

00:16It's a big statement, because if one thing happens all year, Pam, you better be good,

00:21because they'll say Trump did not fulfill his promise.

00:24One person gets a little injured by somebody.

00:27They'll say Trump did not fulfill his promise.

00:29No, we're going to be essentially crime-free.

00:32This is going to be a beacon, and it's going to also serve as an example of what can be done.

00:39We have to get rid of this cashless bail nonsense.

00:42I got the Olympics, and I got the World Cup.

00:44I can't claim that I got the 250.

00:46That one's a big one, but I happen to be here.

00:49But I got the Olympics.

00:51I got the World Cup.

00:52And I said, the shame of it is that I'm not going to be president when it happens.

00:57And lo and behold, look what happens.

00:59We have some bad things took place, and now I'm going to be president for the Olympics.

01:05I'll be president for the World Cup.

01:08And the 250th is going to be maybe more exciting than both.

01:12It's a great celebration of our country.

01:13We're going to be using this building for a lot of the celebration having to do with 250 years.

01:20But as I said earlier, I'm determined to make Washington, D.C. safe, clean, and beautiful.

01:25Again, it's going to take place very rapidly.

01:27Be prepared.

01:29And a big part of that's going to include the Kennedy Center.

01:33So thank you very much.

01:34And I want to thank everybody for helping us.

01:37This is mostly the group right here.

01:39That's they're young.

01:40They're smart.

01:42They're ambitious.

01:43They want my job.

01:45One of them will probably have it.

01:46But we have a great group of people that are putting this together, and they're also helping us with Washington, D.C.

01:53We're going to make Washington beautiful.

01:55We're going to redo roads.

01:56We're going to redo the medians, the pavers, and the medians all throughout the city.

02:02We're going to take all the graffiti off.

02:03We're going to have to remove the tents and the people that are living in our parks.

02:08We're going to be redoing the parks, the grasses and all.

02:12We're going to be going to Congress for a relatively small amount of money.

02:16And Lindsey and the Republicans are going to be approving it.

02:19I don't know about the Democrats.

02:21They don't approve anything.

02:22It's amazing.

02:23It's like they just don't want to vote for anything.

02:26They've got the yips.

02:27You know, in golf, they say the yips.

02:30The Democrats are afraid to do anything because they don't want to be criticized.

02:33But fighting crime is a good thing.

02:34We have to explain.

02:36We're going to fight crime.

02:37That's a good thing.

02:38Already they're saying he's a dictator.

02:40The place is going to hell, and we've got to stop it.

02:45So instead of saying he's a dictator, they should say, we're going to join him and make

02:49Washington safe.

02:50But they say, he's a dictator.

02:55And then they end up getting mugged.

02:57And, you know, but the stats are very bad.

02:59But we're going to, we're going to, I think we'll actually get Democrats support.

03:04I really believe they can't, they can't do this one, too.

03:07It's, you know, they talk about 80-20s, 80-20 issues.

03:11But I think many of those 80-20 issues, like men and women's sports, I think it's 97 to

03:163, not 80-20.

03:18And I think crime is maybe 100 to nothing.

03:20So I think we may get very well some Democrat support.

03:23But I hope so.

03:24But even if we don't, we have the majority.

03:25So we're going to vote it in as Republicans.

03:28And we're going to do something.

03:29And that's going to serve as a beacon for New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and other

03:34places all over the country.

03:36This whole, our whole country is going to be so different and so great.

03:41It's going to be clean and safe and beautiful.

03:44And people are going to love our flag more than they've ever loved it.

03:48And we're going to do a great job.
