Former President Trump discussed his plans to restore law and order in cities like Oakland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles during a California GOP speech. Trump stated that he would use “federal law enforcement assets” to prevent shoplifting and theft, emphasizing that if someone robs a store, they should expect to be shot as they leave. He argued that this approach would deter crime and restore safety and peace to these cities. Trump also criticized what he viewed as incompetent politicians preventing law enforcement from taking necessary actions. These comments were made as part of his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, where he remains the frontrunner in early GOP primary polls.
