Trump Demands CIA Action After New Orleans Attack and Tesla Explosion at His Las Vegas Hotel

Jan 2, 2025, 11:34 AM

President-elect Donald Trump has sharply criticized the current state of the United States, describing it as a 'disaster' and a 'laughing stock' globally. In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump attributed the nation's issues to 'open borders' and 'weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership.' He accused the Department of Justice, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors of failing to perform their duties, instead focusing on attacking him politically rather than protecting Americans from violence and corruption. Trump demanded immediate action from the CIA, stating that the country is experiencing a 'violent erosion of Safety, National Security, and Democracy.' His comments follow recent incidents including a terror attack in New Orleans that left 15 dead and an explosion involving a Tesla Cybertruck outside his Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, which he did not directly mention but are believed to have influenced his remarks. Trump urged for strong leadership and promised change when he takes office on January 20th.
