Speaking from the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump responded to a reporter who mentioned Seattle and San Francisco, which will host six World Cup games each, as cities that have resisted the administration’s more aggressive enforcement of federal immigration laws.
“They’re run by radical left lunatics that don’t know what they’re doing,” Trump said to assembled reporters.
Trump then touted his administration’s crime-fighting efforts in the nation’s capital.
Since August, Trump has implemented a series of federal actions aimed at reducing crime in Washington, D.C., including deploying federal agents and the National Guard.
“We have this city in great shape,” Trump said.
