"So there's a lot of respect, and I think you'll see some tremendous progress, both in the Middle East. This country is doing very well. It has good leadership, Trump said of Sisi, who came to power following a coup in 2013 and has since been accused of widespread oppression and anti-democratic tactics. Trump continued: It's about leadership, and it's really nice when you say, How is your crime situation? and they don't even know what you're talking about."
"What do you mean crime? We don't have crime. Because if they have it, they put it out very quickly. Some people think that's not nice, but I think it's great, because people don't want to be mugged and smashed, and they don't want to be stupid people. They have a place that is doing very well. We're very proud of them, because we knew each other from the beginning."
"The first time I metit was in a hotel, and I was going to meet him, and then Hillary Clinton was following me. Remember Hillary Clinton? And he liked me so much, he never even got to see Hillary. He saw her for about two seconds, but he didn't really want to waste a lot of time. He knew what was going to happen. But that was the first time we met, and we had a very good chemistry together, and it continues till today."
President Donald Trump praised Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's approach to crime and leadership while introducing a Middle East peace summit. Trump described Egypt as doing very well and credited strong leadership for low visible crime, asserting authorities remove crime quickly. He defended harsh tactics as preventing muggings and disorder and recounted a first meeting with Sisi, noting strong personal chemistry and pride in their relationship. Human Rights Watch characterized Sisi's government as continuing wholesale repression, systematically detaining and punishing peaceful critics and activists, and effectively criminalizing peaceful dissent.
