Donald Trump made a bold promise on Thursday afternoon that raised eyebrows across Washington, DC. Speaking on a conservative radio show, he announced his plans to personally join law enforcement officers and military personnel on the streets of the nation’s capital that evening. However, when the time came, Trump failed to follow through on his dramatic pledge.
Trump told radio host Todd Starnes during a live interview: “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 announcement caught many by surprise, including some members of his own Secret Service team who had not been informed of the planned patrol.
