Ten days after President Trump ordered 800 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., to crack down on what he described as crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor in the nations capital, Trump paid them and other federal agents a personal visit Thursday evening to praise their efforts and deliver burgers and pizza.
We've had some incredible results that have come out, and it's like a different place, Trump said at the U.S. Park Police Anacostia Operations Facility in Southeast D.C., which is serving as the gathering point for all the agencies involved in the operation. It's like a different city. It's the capital. It's going to be the best in the world."
Trump also urged the group to be strong and tough.

Earlier in the day, the president implied that he would be patrolling the citys streets with law enforcement, but he returned to the White House immediately after the brief event.
