“[It’s] an incredible job by law enforcement. We’ve carried out a far-reaching federal, state, and local investigation to find the person or persons responsible for these events. These terrorizing acts are despicable and have no place in our country. No place. I’ve instructed authorities to spare no resource or expense in finding those responsible and bringing them to swift and certain justice. And we will prosecute them, him, her – whoever it may be – to the fullest extent of the law.
“We must never allow political violence to take root in America – cannot let it happen – and I’m committed to doing everything in my power as president to stop it, and to stop it now.
“I have just concluded a briefing with the Department of Justice following the apprehension of the suspect. I want to applaud the FBI, Secret Service, Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, the NYPD, and all law enforcement throughout the entire country.”
Trump continued by congratulating the aforementioned agencies for finding a “needle in a haystack.”
The president concluded with the following statement: “The bottom line is that Americans must unify, and we must show the world that we are united together in peace and love and harmony as fellow American citizens. There is no country like our country, and every day we are showing the world just how truly great we are.”
