Robie Smith, Northwest D.C.
“Shocked about it. [I was] surprised, but ain’t nothing surprising with Trump. It’s the type of stuff he [does] to keep the focus off of him — start a war to keep him from being caught up in the stuff he caught up in.”
Natalie Preston, Northeast D.C.
“Control, per usual. I’m not stating that we should not try to involve ourselves with helping others, but unfortunately, this go round [is] a control issue.”
