During a telephone interview with radio host Todd Starnes Thursday morning, President Donald Trump announced he will be going out on patrol with the National Guard and law enforcement in Washington, D.C. TONIGHT.
This comes days after the president placed Washington, D.C. under federal control and sent in the National Guard, to clean up the homeless encampments and get crime under control in the nation’s capital city.
“I’m going to be going out tonight… I’m going to keep it a secret,” Trump quipped, as he announced the news on the radio program.
