President Donald Trump denounced what he calls the “anti-cop crusade” and asserted his administration’s “pro-safety, pro-police, and anti-crime” stance on Monday at a roundtable where Americans shared stories about how they and their families have been helped by law enforcement.

“Far-left mayors are escalating the anti-cop crusade, and violent crime is spiraling in their cities,” Trump said. “It’s all far-left cities where they have no understanding of what has to be done.”
