‘Democrats have gone CRAZY,’ says Trump, declaring calls to defund police ‘unacceptable’

US President Donald Trump stands against defunding or abolishing the police, the White House said, after he tweeted about it and accused “radical left Democrats” of being insane for entertaining the proposal.

“The president is appalled by the defund the police movement,” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said during the briefing on Monday, naming several Democrats who have called for it in recent days.

Asked if Trump agreed with Black Lives Matter protesters specifically, McEnany explained that he believes “all black lives matter,” including African-American police officers killed in the riots over the past week. Insofar as the Black Lives Matter DC organization stands for defunding the police, however, “that’s something this president stands against.”

Earlier in the day, Trump tweeted that “Radical Left Democrats” have “gone crazy” for wanting to defund the police, adding: “Sorry, I want LAW & ORDER!”

He appears to have an unlikely ally in the presumptive Democrat nominee for the presidency, as Joe Biden’s campaign spokesman told reporters on Monday afternoon that Barack Obama’s former VP “does not believe that police should be defunded.”
