Donald Trump has the singular gift of being able to make his opponents take the worst and least popular positions possible on every issue. From transgender 'rights' to illegal immigration, if President Trump does X, those who hate him do Y.
Now, he's gotten the never-Trump crowd and the Democrats to come out in favor of crime, and to make themselves look like fools in the process.
And there's no bigger anti-Trump fool (and tool) than Bill Kristol:
Park Police officer to a group of black men in D.C.:

“Tell your boys, let ’em know, don’t be smoking outside, don’t be drinking outside, because Donald Trump’s tired of it.”
This is not the language of law enforcement in a free, rule-of-law country.https://t.co/Du941QHzqn
Actually, it is the language of law enforcement.
How dare the police tell people that they’re gonna be actually enforcing the duly enacted laws of their municipality

The audacity.
Giving warnings about the fact the laws will be enforced is exactly the language of a free, rule-of-law country.

They could have simply said nothing and just arrested everyone breaking the law.
That's probably what they should do, frankly.
you have brain worms bill

if we lived in a rule of law society they would be getting arrested for smoking weed/drinking in public instead of getting a friendly warning
YUP.
You realize smoking weed and drinking outside are both crimes in DC right?

But it's (D)ifferent this time.
D.C. Code § 25-1001 prohibits open containers in public spaces including streets, sidewalks, parks, or vehicles, unless the area is specifically licensed for alcohol consumption. It's also illegal to smoke weed in public in DC.

You have a problem with police warning people not…
He hates Trump so much that facts don't matter.
Drinking alcohol outside is illegal in DC Bill...so is the rest.

Nobody is above the law! https://t.co/MFEeE0IU6z pic.twitter.com/4aKW2gRv66
Nobody, Bill.
Police: “Please tell folks we’re going to enforce the law now. We don’t want people to be surprised because they’re used to us not enforcing the law.”
— Luke Thompson (@ltthompso) August 14, 2025
Bill Kristol: “wow this is illegal.” https://t.co/1ktB54scPB
Also Bill: 'This is fascism.'
fascism is when there's been an open-container law for 91 years https://t.co/ZfLkBaJWVS

Apparently.
Yes, I think Democrats and idiot Republicans should absolutely keep running with this message that it is literally fascism to enforce laws and public decency. https://t.co/StEcHz5Sd5

We're begging them.
If not being able to smoke weed and drink in public is fascism, a lot of people are going to welcome fascism.
