VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — In his first public event since last week’s deadly ambush of Dallas police officers, Donald Trump on Monday called for an end to hostility to the nation’s law enforcement and insisted that he is the “law and order” candidate ..
Speaking to an invited audience in what is expected to be battleground state this fall, .. the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, .. kicked off his remarks with a lengthy statement of support for the country’s law enforcement officers amid turmoil prompted by a spate of deadly police shootings.

“America’s police and law enforcement personnel are what separate our civilization from total chaos and the destruction of our country as we know it,” he said. “It is time for hostility against our police and against all members of law enforcement to end — and end immediately, right now.”
Trump said he was “disturbed” by the images of last week’s deadly police shootings in Louisiana and Minneapolis, .. declared that “a lot of work” needs to be done to make sure all Americans “feel their safety is protected.” ..
Echoing remarks he has made previously on the campaign trail, the GOP hopeful called for rebuilding the nation’s inner cities, ..
“Our inner cities have been left totally behind, and I am going to fight to make sure every citizen in this country has a safe home, a safe school and a safe community,” Trump said. “We must maintain law and order at the highest level, or we will cease to have a country.”
“Without safety,” he added, “we have nothing.”

Point out it is the democrat party that has turned law and order upside down.
just WOW!
Shillary is the anarchy and riot candidate..... so long as it serves her political interests.
Let’s see, is Hillary a pathological liar or just grossly incompetent?
I say both!!
That sentence is everywhere now! Somehow I feel the mediaWhores didn’t take too kindly to Sheriff Trump’s words... Watch them twist, bend, mold those words to make him sound RACIST!! Mark it!!
“In his biography of Hillary Clinton, former Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein notes that in the summer of 1973, 817 people took the Washington, D.C., bar exam; 551 of them passed. Hillary Rodham was not one of them. “
The Trump campaign is turning into the 1968 Nixon campaign. Back then Nixon ran on law and order in response to the rioting and lawlessness that was taking place in major cities. Trump should focus on law and order. This way he can crush the Wicked Witch just as Nixon crushed Humphrey.
It’s going to be pretty hard to run against the “Law and Order” candidate, especially after HILLARY just got special treatment for breaking the law.
They say their was no precedent.... for indicting her.
Only feminazi sycophants like Madeleine Halfbright, Samantha World Power, and Marcia Angell (who is NO angel!) believe that Hillary is the “Smartest Woman in the World”!!
Even Goofy Elizabeth Warren knows better!!!!
Thx very much for that info. I didn’t know that.
Has Shrillary called for more gun control laws yet?.....................
Every derogatory label they come up with against TRUMP he embraces and makes a part of his platform!
It’s stunning how different he handles adversity from anyone ever before.
I have this button; it was my Dad's. I've been wearing it around. I get some strange looks, but it sparks conversation!
“Our inner cities have been left totally behind, and I am going to fight to make sure every citizen in this country has a safe home, a safe school and a safe community,” Trump said
Our inner cities have been left behind by those who made them successful and kept them safe....the affluent and now replaced with lawless trash seeking the next handout. The government hasn’t left the inner city, millions are poured into the inner cities. The problem has always been the problem but folks are too afraid to state it lest be called racist.
Dallas police chief hit it squarely on the head today
