Donald Trump had promised to join the National Guard troops in Washington, DC, for a late-night patrol to showcase how safe his administration has made the city. But a last-minute change of heart meant the president instead went to a US Park Police facility, where he spoke about how safe the city is now and how he plans on “re-grassing” the city parks to look more like his golf courses.
Trump spoke to the press and, similar to the moment when he paved the Rose Garden, claimed he’s already receiving calls thanking him for policing in DC. According to Trump, the people calling him said they hadn’t been out at restaurants for four years and have now returned to eating out. However, The Guardian reports that restaurant reservations in the city are unusually low at this very moment.
