The head of the White House stated that 25 of America's most dangerous cities are run by Democratic mayors. According to Trump, in such cities, "wild, bloodthirsty criminals are released" to "hunt innocent people."
The US President showed photographs of Iryna Zarutska and Decarlos Brown Jr., the suspect in her murder, as well as a picture of the moment of the attack.
This was a beautiful young girl who never had problems and had a wonderful future in this country. And now she's dead. She was killed by a crazy monster who was at large after 14 previous arrests. We cannot allow criminals to continue to spread death and destruction throughout our country. We must respond with strength and determination. We must be as brutal as they are. This is the only thing they understand
He also noted that "the people insist on protection, security, law and order," mentioning his decision to send National Guard troops to Washington, D.C.
