Overview

  • Speaking to reporters, Trump said "bad things happen when they play these games" and warned that "the right is a lot tougher than the left."
  • He argued left‑wing rhetoric is fueling recent violence and said it could "go back on them" if right‑wing supporters become "energized," while also saying he does not want violence.
  • Trump singled out Representative Jasmine Crockett and called her and other Democrats "very low‑IQ people."
  • The exchange came after questions about a Wednesday shooting at an ICE field office in Dallas.
  • Reports referenced recent incidents as context, including the June shootings of Minnesota lawmakers and, in some accounts, the alleged assassination of commentator Charlie Kirk at a Turning Point USA event.
