Trump Criticizes Los Angeles Mayor Live: "Citizens Want Action!"
In a powerful speech broadcast on national television, Donald Trump blasted the mayor of Los Angeles, criticizing the city government for failing to take quick and efficient action to address the challenges facing the city.
"Citizens Want to Work"
Trump highlighted the willingness of residents to solve the city's problems independently:
"You have emergency power and you can do it in 24 hours. They want to work and they're not allowed to."
According to Trump, the bureaucracy of the city has been an obstacle to progress and cleaning up critical areas of the city.
The Issue of Urban Cleanup
Los Angeles has faced significant challenges with urban cleanup and infrastructure problems, in addition to a growing crisis of homeless residents. For Trump, the citizens themselves could lead a revitalization effort, if they had the support and permission of the authorities.
Criticism of the Mayor
Trump did not mince words when pointing out what he considers flaws in the mayor's leadership:
Lack of action: The city government has the necessary tools to act immediately, but it is choosing inertia.
