Statement by President Donald J. Trump:
“If they spit, we will hit.”
This declaration from President Trump addresses the ongoing unrest in Los Angeles, which he attributes to policies and leadership associated with Governor Gavin Newsom. The President refers to reports that some demonstrators have shown aggression toward National Guard personnel, including spitting in their faces.
President Trump expressed strong disapproval of what he characterized as the mistreatment of law enforcement and military personnel, emphasizing that such actions will not be tolerated under his administration.
“Those serving our country should not be subjected to such indignities,” Trump stated. “Under the Trump Administration, if they spit, we will hit—and they will be hit harder than they’ve ever been hit before.”
The President concluded by reaffirming his administration’s commitment to law and order, stating that acts of disrespect and violence toward those who protect the public will be met with swift and decisive consequences.$TRUMP
