President Donald Trump delivered an address on Tuesday denouncing the rampant violent crime that is plaguing cities across the United States — many of which have been run by Democrats for decades — and focusing on the brutal murder of a young Ukrainian woman that took place just a couple of weeks earlier. Repeat offender Decarlos Brown Jr. sat behind Iryna Zarutska, 23, on a light-rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina, on August 22 — and at 9:50 p.m., he took a folding knife from his pocket and stabbed her, at least once in the neck. She bled out in the seat as he stood up and walked calmly to the door, taking off his sweatshirt and dripping her blood on the floor. Trump addressed that situation on Tuesday: WATCH: President Donald J. Trump denounces senseless crime in Democrat-run cities & the horrific murder of a young woman in Charlotte by a deranged criminal monster. “It’s time to stop this madness. The people of our country need to insist on protection, safety, LAW & ORDER.” pic.twitter.com/eUD5KuTufC — The White House (@WhiteHouse) September 9, 2025 “For far too long, Americans have been forced to put up with Democrat-run cities that set loose savage, bloodthirsty criminals to prey on innocent people. Really, very innocent people,” Trump said from behind the Resolute Desk. “In every place they control, radical Left judges, politicians, and activists, and they’ve adopted a policy of catch-and-release for thugs and killers. In Charlotte, North Carolina, we saw the results of these policies when a 23-year-old woman from Ukraine met her bloody end on a public train.” Trump held up a photo from the train’s camera that showed the moment just before Brown stabbed the young woman, who was minding her own business and looking at her phone at the time. “She was slaughtered by a deranged monster who was roaming free after 14 prior arrests,” Trump continued. “We cannot allow a depraved criminal element of violent repeat offenders to continue spreading destruction and death throughout our country.” The president’s solution to the problem, already on display in the nation’s capital, was simple: “We have to respond with force and strength. We have to be vicious just like they are. It’s the only thing they understand.” Laying out some of the data, Trump noted that all but one of the most violent cities in the country were controlled by Democrat mayors. “It’s time to stop this madness. The people of our country need to insist on protection, safety, LAW & ORDER.”

President Donald Trump was critical of Israel’s strike in Doha, Qatar, that targeted Hamas leaders, with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying on Tuesday that the administration warned the Qatari government of the “impending attack.” Leavitt read a prepared statement during the White House press briefing, stating that the administration was notified by the U.S. military of an impending Israeli strike and that special envoy Steve Witkoff gave the Qataris a heads-up before the bombing. While Trump was critical of Israel’s action to strike a target inside the capital of one of America’s “close” allies, he also acknowledged that taking out Hamas “is a worthy goal.” “Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker peace, does not advance Israel or America’s goals,” Leavitt said, reading from the statement. “However, eliminating Hamas, who have profited off the misery of those in Gaza, is a worthy goal. President Trump immediately directed special envoy Witkoff to inform the Qataris of the impending attack, which he did.” .@PressSec reads a statement on the Israeli strike in Doha: “Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and ally… does not advance Israeli’s or America’s goals. However, eliminating Hamas, who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza, is a worthy goal.” pic.twitter.com/uocd85XKVI — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) September 9, 2025 The largest U.S. military base in the Middle East is located in Qatar, just southwest of Doha. Trump has strengthened his ties with Qatar during his second term, despite accusing the country of funding terrorism during his first term in the White House. In May, Trump visited Qatar and signed a massive economic agreement with the government. “The president views Qatar as a strong ally and friend of the United States and feels very badly about the location of this attack,” Leavitt added. The White House statement reiterated Trump’s call for Hamas to release the remaining hostages in Gaza and to work out an end to the war. Trump spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the strike on Hamas leadership in Doha and made his concerns “very clear,” according to Leavitt. The president also spoke to the Emir and Prime Minister of Qatar, “and thanked them for their support and friendship,” assuring them “that such a thing will not happen again on their soil.” “President Trump believes this unfortunate incident could serve as an opportunity for peace,” Leavitt added. Israel said on Tuesday that it conducted a “precise strike” targeting key Hamas leaders in Doha. The strike killed Khalil al-Hayya, the deputy to former Gaza Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar and head of Hamas’s negotiation team, and Zaher Jabarin, a key figure in Hamas’s military wing, according to Israeli authorities. Israel said that several other Hamas leaders who were tied to the planning of the brutal October 7, 2023, attack against Israel were also killed in the bombing.

The jobs market during former President Joe Biden’s last year in office was much worse than previously reported, data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics reveal. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) revised job numbers showing that there were 911,000 fewer jobs than reported from April 2024 to March 2025. The Trump administration responded to the massive overcount by saying it demonstrated the need for new leadership at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. “Today, the BLS released the largest downward revision on record proving that President Trump was right: Biden’s economy was a disaster and the BLS is broken,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “This is exactly why we need new leadership to restore trust and confidence in the BLS’ data on behalf of the financial markets, businesses, policymakers, and families that rely on this data to make major decisions.” Last month, President Donald Trump fired BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, accusing her of manipulating the jobs numbers for political purposes. Trump has nominated Heritage Foundation economist E.J. Antoni to take her place. Leavitt added that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell should respond to the news by cutting interest rates, saying that he had “run out of excuses” not to do so. Trump has been pressuring Powell to lower interest rates for months and has even floated the idea of firing the Fed chair. The revisions indicate that the Bureau of Labor Statistics overcounted private sector non-farm jobs by 880,000 and government employment by 31,000. In the private sector, jobs were overcounted by 126,200 in retail trade, 110,300 in wholesale trade, leisure and hospitality by 176,000, professional and business service by 158,000, and manufacturing by 95,000. “Considering these reports are the foundation of economic forecasts and major policy decisions, there is no room for such a significant and consistent amount of error. It’s imperative for the data to remain accurate, impartial, and never altered for political gain,” said Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer. “Leaders at the bureau failed to improve their practices during the Biden administration, utilizing outdated methods that rendered a once reliable system completely ineffective and calling into question the motivation behind their inaction,” she added.
