President Trump's Friday speech in Long Island became a news story even before the event began for an unusual reason - the venue's address.
President Trump's Friday speech in Long Island became a news story even before the event began for an unusual reason - the venue's street address.
Trump tweeted Friday, "Departing for Long Island now. An area under siege from #MS13 gang members. We will not rest until #MS13 is eradicated."
Meanwhile, Suffolk County Community College said on its website, "The College's Michael J Grant Campus in Brentwood has been selected as the venue for a speech by President Donald Trump on the subject of MS-13 gang violence..."
As it turns out, the campus is located on 1001 Crooked Hill Road, according to the Hill. Considering Trump often referred to Hillary Clinton as 'Crooked Hillary' during the campaign, it's quite a coincidence.
Meanwhile, Trump has continued to call Clinton by that nickname even during his presidency.
Trump tweeted Monday, "So why aren't the Committees and investigators, and of course our beleaguered A.G., looking into Crooked Hillarys crimes & Russia relations?"
Days prior, the president wrote, "My son Donald openly gave his e-mails to the media & authorities whereas Crooked Hillary Clinton deleted (& acid washed) her 33,000 e-mails!"
