Officials and residents in Beverly Hills have been left bewildered by President Donald Trump’s claims that people willingly leave their cars unlocked in the affluent California city to avoid being vandalized during a break-in.
Speaking in the Oval Office on Monday, the president was defending his deployment of federal troops to Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., as part of a crackdown on disorder in the cities before going off on one of his usual tangents to discuss Beverly Hills, where he used to own a mansion.
“I have friends, they leave their trunk open for their car because they know they’re going to be vandalized. They don’t want the trunk ripped off in order for them to steal what’s in the back,” Trump said. “So the criminals, when they go and open the door, they don’t have to break the windows and kill the car door to steal whatever it is in the car that they’re looking for.”
