    “When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true,” Trump said. “The crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before.”

    The New Orleans attack, which occurred early on New Year’s Day, left 10 dead and over 30 injured when a pickup truck plowed into a crowd on Bourbon Street. The FBI is investigating the incident as an act of terrorism.

    Trump expressed his condolences to the victims and their families, adding, “Our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department.”

    He also offered full support for the city’s investigation and recovery from the attack, emphasizing his commitment to assist the city in addressing this tragedy.

    The attack has prompted heightened security measures, with authorities continuing to gather information and work on a full investigation.

    Unfortunately, this has become an acceptable characteristic of our drug induced, parentless and valueless sub population. As the underclass continues to stream into this country, as well as the increased fecundity of non contributors, we can expect more of same.

    Joe Biden is a natural born leader. These guns are dangerous and must be taken away from all law abiding white middle class taxpayers.

    January 20 can not come soon enough. It is time to stop the left socialist liberal agenda. The USA needs to return to a law abiding civilized country it once was, if that takes more policing so be it.

    Will this fascist backtrack his hate statement now when it turns out false?
    Will VIN backtrack? Or just blindly following his sick hatred?
