‘They Want Transgender for Everybody!’ Trump Goes Way Off Script in Attack on Democrats While Talking DC Crime

President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will move to take over Washington, D.C., which he has been suggesting for several weeks he would do in order to bring down the crime rate. After announcing he was deploying National Guard troops to the capital and federalizing the local police department, Trump launched into attacks on the Democratic Party.

“Probably won’t get one Democrat vote because they have no idea what they’re doing. That’s why they want men playing in women’s sports,” Trump said, while discussing seeking legislation to fight crime in D.C..

“That’s what they — why they want transgender for everybody! Everybody transgender. And they — they’ve just got walloped in an election in a landslide, and they haven’t changed one thing,” Trump fumed, adding:

I saw the other day that a certain gentlemen, a very well-known politician, Democrat, was fighting like hell that men should be allowed to play in women’s sport. They just don’t get it. They said it’s an 80-20 issue, and I think it’s a 97-3 issue. And I don’t know who the three are.

I’ve never heard anybody come — nobody’s ever come up to me: “Sir, you have to let men play in women’s sports. You have to do it, sir.” Nobody’s ever approached me. I don’t know where this issue even comes from. Never seen anything like it.

But they turned our nation’s capital into a sanctuary jurisdiction. That’s the other thing — we have to get rid of sanctuary cities as quickly as possible. We’re going to do it too. We have to, because it’s sanctuary for criminals. Releasing illegal alien gang members onto the streets. In 2022, nearly 70% of criminals arrested in Washington went unprosecuted. That’s not gonna happen with the group we have standing aside and standing behind me. And at the Metropolitan Police Department, it’s now reached a small number, relatively, compared to what it was. But it’s thousands of people. You know, we have thousands of police.

I was told today, “Sir, they want more police.” I heard a number: 3,500 police. That’s a lot of police — 3,500. I thought they’re gonna say, “We only have 30 policemen or women.” They said, “We have 3,500. We need more.” You don’t need more — that’s so many. I never heard that like an army. How could you need more than 3,000? It just happened two minutes ago.

“Sir, they’ve requested more police.” “Oh, what do they have?” “About 3,500.” I said, “3,500? This is not a big area.” It’s ridiculous. What you need is rules and regulations, and you need the right people to implement them. And we have the right here, that I can tell you. Look at the border. Biden said, “There’s nothing you can do.” Kamala was the border czar. She never called one of the border patrol agents, who are great. ICE is great. Never spoke to anybody. Never went there.

But she was the border czar, and everybody said it was impossible to fix. I fixed it in three months. I fixed it the first week, but really fixed it over the last couple of months. And, I mean, literally to a point where, as I said, zero illegals entering our country in the last 90 days. Pretty amazing. It’s time for dramatic action. We’re gonna do the same thing over here. It’s gonna be a very safe city — very safe. We’re not looking to just take years, because a lot of people die in years. And we’ve got incredible people in this country, except we have to allow them to do their job. And that, we will deliver like nobody’s ever delivered before. I actually think it’s easy. You know, if you’re competent, it’s easy. If you’re incompetent, it is impossible. But I’m very competent.
