New York State Is Something Donald Trump Is Looking To Fix
Some see these as severe measures, but former president Trump recently pledged to “straighten New York out” with them.
The former president gave a speech at the Sanaa Convenience Store, which was once known as Blue Moon, on the corner of Broadway and West 139th Street. In 2022, the shop became famous after an employee, acting in self-defense, fatally stabbed an ex-con.
Trump told the business owner, “I love this city, and it’s gotten so bad in the last three or four years.” This came after he met with the vendor. “New York will be straightened out by us.”
Here are some of the methods Trump proposed to “straighten New York out.” To deter would-be assailants, he suggested that present employees think about purchasing firearms.
A gun should be legal for you to own. Trump informed the employees that carrying a firearm would make them impervious to robberies.
Reducing crime in New York is another goal of Trump’s. To do this, he argues, people should just let the cops “do their job.”
I can’t believe it; they’re robbed twice or three times a week. Well, guess what? The police can put a halt to it, but Trump said they should be allowed to carry out their duties. The police will carry out their duties, and you must put an end to criminality. “Their authority has to be restored,” Trump further stated.
