President Trump Dines Out in Washington DC, Faces Protests
President Donald Trump dined at Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab in Washington DC on Tuesday, marking his first visit to a local restaurant since taking office in January. He was joined by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Upon entering the restaurant, Trump received applause and assured diners that Washington, D.C., is a safe city, encouraging them to enjoy themselves. While dining, President Trump was approached by protesters chanting 'Free DC' and 'Free Palestine,' with some calling him 'the Hitler of our time.' The protesters were booed by other diners, and the incident ended as Trump came close to them. Code Pink, an activist group, took credit for the protests. The White House did not comment on the incident. Trump has recently claimed that his efforts to crack down on crime in Washington, including increased federal law enforcement and National Guard deployment, have led to higher restaurant attendance.
