In one of the finest addresses of his presidency to date, President Donald Trump took aim at the leftist violence, looting, and anarchy that now dominate the streets, promising to use federal power to crush the radical insurrectionists whom the nation’s do-nothing governors and mayors have been allowing to run wild.
“My fellow Americans: My first and highest duty as president is to defend our great country and the American people. I swore an oath to uphold the laws of our nation, and that is exactly what I will do,” Trump said in a 7-minute speech on the evening of June 1.
