President Trump told conservative radio host Todd Starnes Thursday he plans on tagging along with DC police and National Guard members as they patrol the capital this evening.
“I’m going to be going out tonight, I think with the police and with the military of course,” the president said. “So we’re going to do a job — the National Guard is great, they’ve done a fantastic job.”
The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Thursday marked 10 days since Trump federalized the Metropolitan Police Department and called out the National Guard in response to a series of high-profile crimes in the District.
Yesterday, Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth treated National Guard members to lunch at DC’s Union Station.
