Donald Trump criticises US authorities and law enforcement agencies

 

US president-elect Donald Trump has criticised US authorities and law enforcement agencies in a post today.

 

Although the message does not directly address the New Orleans attack, Trump wrote on his Truth Social network that the “The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job”.

 

Trump criticised what he described as “weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership” in reference to “open borders” and accused authorities of spending time attacking him rather than “focusing on protecting Americans from the outside and inside”.

 

He wrote:

 

Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen to our Country. The CIA must get involved, NOW, before it is too late. The USA is breaking down – A violent erosion of Safety, National Security, and Democracy is taking place all across our Nation.

 

Only strength and powerful leadership will stop it. See you on January 20th. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
