Left wing outlets were quick to attack the officers that met up with Trump.
Per Independent:
Former president Donald Trump is treading through waves of backlash after a video circulated of him taking selfies with police officers.
Dan Scavino, a senior adviser on Trump’s 2024 campaign and former White House deputy chief of staff, posted the video on Sunday of the former president greeting law enforcement officers at Los Angeles International Airport.
A Tennessee election commissioner, Chris D Jackson, tweeted in response: “I’m really confused how government agencies continue to let this kind of political involvement by on the job, uniformed officers take place. It’s a clear violation of taxpayer dollars.”
In the same vein, one Twitter user wrote, “Not LA cops doing a Trump photo op on our taxpayer’s dime.”
In a reply, another user said, “This should piss off every taxpayer of LA.”
Yet another user reacted to the video, tweeting that the act was a “Disgrace to all the US capital and DC metro police officers who were attacked by trump’s maga thugs.”
God bless President Trump 🥰🙏
LAPD came out to greet him at LA International Airport.
You know these officers want someone in office who actually cares about reducing crime https://t.co/XdkIADa416
