‘Hitler of our Times’: Pro-Palestine protesters shout at Donald Trump at restaurant in Washington DC
Washington DC: President of the US Donald Trump reportedly visited a restaurant in the city on Tuesday, where he had to face a group of pro-Palestine protesters who demanded that the country be freed and also called their President ‘Hitler of our time’.
Trump, with the Secret Service and accompanied by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, is said to have visited Joe’s Seafood, a short distance away from White House, to prove the high level of safety in the city since he took over the federal law enforcement.
The protesters at the restaurant were heard shouting out to Trump, “Free DC! Free Palestine! Trump is the Hitler of our time!”
An unfazed Trump, laying further stress on the safety in the city, reportedly told the group of people to enjoy themselves as they had a safe city and ‘have a good time’.
Further, addressing reporters outside the hotel, the President is learned to have said that he could not have stood in the middle of a street in Washington DC a few months ago as the safety level in the city was very low. Now, however, the security measures have been improved greatly and the restaurants are drawing customers in high numbers, which reflected the level of safety in the city, he added.

Withdraw 'disrespectful' remark against Rahul Gandhi and apologise: Pilot asks Rijiju
Mumbai (PTI): Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Thursday hit out at Union minister Kiren Rijiju for passing a "disrespectful and inappropriate" remark against Rahul Gandhi, and asked him to apologise for it.
He was answering a query regarding Rijiju's reported statement in which he described Gandhi as the "most dangerous person" for India's security, and a purported video of a man claiming to be from Karni Sena issuing death threats to the Congress leader.
Addressing a press conference here, Pilot said, "When ordinary journalists criticise the government, they face FIRs and jail. But when threats are issued against the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha (Rahul Gandhi), there is silence. This shows the government's intention. LoP is a constitutional position. To describe him as a security threat is inappropriate and disrespectful. Even as such open threats are being made, the government is not taking any action."
"The statement 9against Gandhi) should be withdrawn and an apology should be issued," the Congress general secretary said, adding that it is the job of the LoP to seek accountability from the government and ask questions.
To a query on the plane crash in which Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar was killed on January 28, Pilot said, "I do not want to speculate. There should be a transparent, time-bound inquiry. If there are doubts, a high-level investigation should clarify facts."
When asked about the demand for leadership change in the opposition INDIA bloc, he said, "Leadership decisions are internal matters. The alliance worked remarkably well in the last Lok Sabha election. The gap in numbers between the INDIA bloc and the NDA was not very wide. We are working together strongly and will continue to do so."
The Congress has been helming the INDIA bloc, a coalition of Opposition parties formed before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections to counter the ruling BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). However, voices from disgruntled Congress members and those associated with the UPA dispensation suggested that the leadership of the opposition alliance should be given to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee or Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin.
On Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Indian economy, Pilot said, "India is a major IT power. We have talent and capability. Many countries see India as a natural partner. But we must use our strengths wisely and not compromise our sovereignty under pressure."
"India should have the freedom to decide where to buy oil from. That is a sovereign decision," Pilot said.
On the issue of illegal migration, he said anybody staying illegally in India should be removed regardless of religion or caste.
"But this issue should not be politicised. If the border has been under control for 11 years, how did illegal immigrants enter? The government should provide data on how many people have been deported," he said.
"This government's intent and policies are anti-farmer and there is no accountability. The opposition will continue to demand answers from the government and stand with farmers and the people of India," he said.
