From his remarks August 3 2026
And,
You know,
I said it the other day
And it maybe doesn’t sound that important,
But when a country goes bad,
Like,
Look at the blue cities.
What do they have in common,
Aside from massive crime?
Much more crime.
The Republicans have very little crime.
But what do the blue cities have in common?
And also,
You can say this with nations,
When they go bad,
The blue cities have something in common
Crime,
High crime,
Vicious, violent crime
But what do they have in common?
They’re all dirty.
They’re filthy, dirty.
Their streets are dirty,
Their streets smell,
Their storefronts are broken.
Their trees are all gross.
Everything about the place is dirty,
And I don’t want to mention any specific city.
It’s really all of them.
But you go into these cities that are blue,
They’re crime ridden
And they’re filthy, dirty.
They’re like Washington, DC was
A year and a half ago,
With graffiti all over the place,
With crime all over the place,
With people afraid to be here.
You ought to be ashamed of your capital,
Some of the most beautiful buildings
Built in the real time.
Like you look at the Supreme Court building
And they put graffiti on it.
The most beautiful columns I’ve ever seen.
In fact,
Our columns are going to be nicer at the ballroom.
I said,
I want the Supreme Court,
But better.
But you look at those columns
And then you see graffiti
On the side of the building,
No artistry,
Just bad people.
But the one thing they all have in common,
Crime.
There are two things,
Crime,
But they’re disgusting.
They’re filthy, dirty.
The streets are dirty.
They have people lying
All over the street
Doing you know what.
They’re all the same.
And this is what we’re going to put in –
Not going to happen in our country.
