Trump sent thousands of National Guard troops and federal law enforcement to patrol the streets of Washington, D.C., claiming the city had been “overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people” while announcing his “Liberation Day” decision. The president claimed that his administration was “not going to let it happen anymore” and vowed to remove homeless encampments from all public places, which includes parks and underpasses.
Trump was confronted by CODEPINK activists during his dinner at a Washington, D.C. restaurant Tuesday (September 9) night.
