Donald Trump dropped a bombshell during an Oval Office meeting, telling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Washington DC was ‘the most unsafe place anywhere’ before his return to power. Zelensky’s face? Pure shock. Trump boasted, ‘Now people are calling me, even Democrats, saying they went out to dinner for the first time in years because DC is safe.’
This bold statement came days after Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
‘We went from the most unsafe place anywhere to a place that now people… are saying, “Sir, I want to thank you,”‘ Trump said.
Social media erupted, with one prominent commentator tweeting, ‘Zelensky’s reaction is all of us right now. Trump’s DC claim is wild!’
