With his new efforts to federalize D.C. and crush crime in the capital, one of the first speakers wasn’t a cabinet member...but someone who had lived through the city’s chaos firsthand.
President Trump asked NTD journalist Iris Tao to share her experience.
It was an opening moment that gave the room chills.
Tao stood and thanked President Trump for making D.C. safe, then told the gut-wrenching story of being mugged and pistol-whipped on her way to work.
“Two years ago—I was on my way to work and a young man with a black ski mask pointed a gun in my face and threatened me to hand over my phone, my wallet, my laptop and everything else.”
“And when I refused, he used the butt of his handgun to strike me across the face, the cheek, or what some people call pistol whipping me before running away.”
“I am very blessed and that’s why having this opportunity to stand here to share my story today, one, I’m very grateful to God for allowing me to survive to this day, and also to you Mr. President, thank you for making D.C. safe for us and for our families—on behalf of my parents, and now my baby on the way, thank you so much!”
[Cabinet ERUPTS into applause]
It was a full-circle moment....and a powerful reminder of why securing the capital is non-negotiable.
