"President Donald Trump dropped an odd late-night boast on social media days after a dining-out photo op ended in Hitler chants but ignored some major details in his post. Trump staged a photo op at Joe's Seafood in Washington DC to promote his police crackdown Tuesday night, but was booed on his way in and out of the restaurant, and accosted by protesters while inside."
"As Reuters notes, the dinner with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani comes amid high tensions over an Israeli airstrike in Doha against Hamas leaders, which Trump has denounced. 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, Trump said in a statement."
Trump staged a photo op at Joe's Seafood in Washington, D.C., to promote a police crackdown but was booed on his way in and out and accosted by protesters while inside. The protesters chanted, among other things, "Trump is the Hitler of our time." The restaurant sits within a block of about a dozen law enforcement jurisdictions. On Friday, Trump posted on Truth Social a photo from Casa Cipriani and an unattributed claim that diners applauded as he left. The dinner included Steve Witkoff and Qatar's prime minister amid tensions over an Israeli airstrike in Doha. A Qatari official called the dinner "wonderful."
