He understands as a local elected official how important public safety is to people, and it’s not going to help him achieve his economic agenda if the city isn’t safe.
I have mixed views. But I think the way you’re describing him, you could’ve been talking about Donald Trump, honestly. Cozies up to dictators, says extreme things. C’mon.
I think this is going to be the story of the beginning of the Trump administration, that everything was as extreme as it possibly could be, and the American people are not into extremism.
