Trump torches ‘loser’ Dan Goldman over calling on NYPD to arrest ICE agents for doing their jobs

President Donald Trump criticized Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman of New York on Thursday over his push for the New York City Police Department (NYPD) to arrest federal agents.

Goldman sent a letter making the request to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch on Oct. 16, alleging Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents have engaged in “outrageous and unlawful conduct … including violently and improperly arresting United States citizens.” When a reporter asked Trump for his response to Goldman’s request on Thursday, the president insulted him and his party.

“Dan is a loser, you understand. He’s a guy that doesn’t have what it takes. He’s been trying so hard. And they are exhausted,” Trump said. “It’s so ridiculous, right? A suggestion like that. They are trying so hard and it’s not working.”

“Even now, they started imitating me — of all people. They want to imitate me, and they start using foul language, but they use too much of it,” he continued. “You can’t use the F-word seven times in one sentence. It doesn’t work. It might work every seven news conferences, but you can’t do it … seven times in one sentence. … They’re in big trouble, that party.”

Democratic members of Congress increased their use of profanity to become more relatable to Americans, Politico reported in March.

Moreover, Goldman also dismissed violence against federal immigration enforcement officers on “CNN NewsNight” Oct. 8.

“I have not seen… a thousand percent upswing and all this stuff,” Goldman said. “I haven’t seen examples of that.”

Chief Border Patrol Agent Greg Bovino dared Goldman on “America Reports” Oct. 9 to walk the streets of Chicago after he minimized the violence.

“You know, that congressman is flat-out blind. You know, there was that 12k hit on myself,” Bovino said. “Thankfully, I’m still with the living, perhaps the congressman doesn’t want us to be with the living.”

“So how about him coming down here and walking some of the streets with us and maybe pick up [Democratic] Gov. [JB] Pritzker, and we’ll take a walk and see what violence really looks like, because it happens every single day to our ICE and Border Patrol agents,” he continued. “We just had another incident this morning … A Border Patrol agent was rammed by a vehicle and someone was taken into custody. It happens every single day, perhaps he needs to come out here and we’ll show him a thing or two.”
