President Donald Trump on September 7 took to social media platform X to denounce Chandler Hall, a representative of the "Center for American Progress" (which Trump sarcastically called "Center for American Lack of Progress"), for stating on television that adding the National Guard to cities including Washington, D.C. had "NO impact on Crime." Trump called the report "just another Radical Left SCAM" and named U.S. funders including George Soros, Bill and Melinda Gates, Google, Apple, Visa, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, WellsFargo, Bank of America, Walmart, Toyota, T-Mobile, and NBC Universal. Foreign supporters listed include the Embassy of Japan, the Korea Foundation, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (Taiwan), and the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates. Trump accused the group of being "so bad for our Country" and of pursuing a course of "anything to hate or demean 'TRUMP'." He announced a lawsuit is being drawn and said he is "strongly considering adding some of the contributors to this Fake Organization." Trump insisted crime is "way down since I took Office" and called the statement an act of lying that "must be held accountable."
