President Donald Trump on Wednesday slammed critics who have labeled his actions as “dictatorial” following his decision to deploy National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., to combat rising crime.
Speaking at an event at The Kennedy Center, Trump firmly rejected accusations that his intervention was authoritarian, instead framing the move as a necessary step to restore safety in the nation’s capital.
“Already they’re saying, ‘He’s a dictator!’ The place is going to hell, and we got to stop it,” Trump said. “So instead of saying ‘He’s a dictator,’ they should say ‘We’re going to join him in making Washington safe,’” he added.
