Trump Floats Atlanta As Next City For National Guard Surge: ‘They’ll Never Fix It Themselves’
—
President Donald Trump suggested on Wednesday that Atlanta might be the next American city to see a surge of federal resources and personnel to help rein in rampant crime.
Trump floated the possibility during a Black History Month event at the White House on Wednesday afternoon: “You need help in Atlanta.”
“Atlanta. Atlanta. We could take care of Atlanta. I’ll tell you what, you oughta get them to call me. We could take care of Atlanta so fast,” he said to applause. “They don’t want to call. They don’t want to. They don’t want to call cause they don’t want to admit it, and they’ll never fix it themself,” he added.
“Don’tforget,wemovepeopleout.Wejustdon’tgoinand,youknow,betoughguys.Wemovepeopleout.Wetakecareercriminalsandwegetthemout,webringthembacktothecountryfromwheretheycame.Andthinkofit,90%ofthecrimeiscausedby2%ofthepeople.Sowhenyougetthecriminalsout,yousolvealotofproblems,”hecontinued.
