"Honey, guess what, I'm President of the United States, President of the United States.'"

President Trump reflected on becoming president Tuesday evening, telling the Florida audience that he had only been to Washington about “17 times” before he took office.

“I don’t think I ever stayed overnight,” he said of his time in Washington, adding that “probably seven of those times” were to check out his Trump International Hotel on Pennsylvania Ave.

“And then I’m riding down in this beautiful car, picked up by the Secret Service, holding the hand of our great first lady,” he said to applause.

“And I look at her and I say, ‘Honey, guess what, I’m President of the United States, President of the United States.’”
He continued, “And I didn’t know anybody in Washington, but now I know everybody in Washington, I know the good ones I know the bad ones, I know the wonderful people and I know the scum. And America now is winning again like they haven’t won before.”

intruder breaks into home. Police arrive and kill homeowner

An Army veteran who fired on an intruder in his Colorado home was fatally shot by a police officer responding to the scene, authorities said.

----------------------------


Rathod told ABC News "a naked man kicked down the door to the house, entered the house, and was found choking Black Jr.'s 11-year-old grandson," strangling the boy in the bathtub. That boy's father, Black's stepson, went in and began wrestling with the naked man. Both he and Black were trying to save the boy.

"Mr. Black goes and gets his sidearm and shoots the intruder and saves his grandson," Rathod said. "Mr. Black walks out of the bathroom to see other individuals who had also come in the home. Black's wife had called the police and ran outside. She specifically told the police what her husband was wearing and there was a naked man attacking her grandson. Mr. Black walks out and is shot by police."

According to the lawyer, Black left the Army and became a federal agent. Prior to that, he was awarded a Bronze Star, with the first oak leaf cluster, an Army Combination Medal and a Purple Heart. Rathod said Black received all commendations for his service in the First Infantry Division simultaneously while at an Army hospital during the Vietnam War.

Black was a member of the Citadel Class of 1966, according to Kim Keeler of the Citadel's media relations.

"This is a very heartbreaking and tragic situation for everyone involved," said Metz, the Aurora police chief. "We are providing assistance through our victim advocates to help the family of the deceased resident through this very difficult time."
