Trump visits Long Island to tout crime reduction and endorse Bruce Blakeman
During a visit to the Nassau County Police Academy in Long Island, President Donald Trump highlighted a significant reduction in violent crime, citing FBI data that shows historic decreases in murders, robberies, and thefts. Trump used the platform to endorse Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman in his gubernatorial race against Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul, criticizing Hochul's policies regarding bail and immigration.
Trump also addressed immigration, comparing the current U.S. border situation to recent mass migration events in Ceuta, Spain, and alleging that 25 million people entered the country during the Biden administration. Additionally, the President made a controversial geopolitical claim, stating that his administration would soon declare the Strait of Hormuz as United States territory following the conclusion of military operations against Iran.
In separate remarks, Trump expressed an interest in running for a third presidential term in 2028, while acknowledging the constitutional limitations regarding term limits.
