It wasn’t 'compassionate' to 'allow a person who’s schizophrenic… to fester in the streets.'

It’s not reasonable to have 'crazy people yelling at our kids.'

We do not have to allow our cities to be taken over by violence. We can bring law and order to our communities, you’ve just got to have the political willpower to do it.

We’re gonna come and say thank you to the National Guard folks, to the cops for actually keeping this place safe. If you look at what’s happened in Washington, DC, in just the past nine days, we’ve seen a 35 percent reduction in violent…

The fact that it’s taken so long to bring common decency and law and order back to Washington, DC, is an indictment of a generation of failed leadership, and I hope these guys know how grateful we are that they’re doing the job that so…
