President Donald Trump told reporters at a cabinet meeting Wednesday that the suspected New York City terrorist is an “animal,” and that the United States needs to get “much less politically correct” to protect itself.

“We have to get much tougher,” POTUS stated. “We have to get much smarter, and we have to get much less politically correct. We’re so politically correct that we’re afraid to do anything.”

“That’s not only our country, that’s other countries, too, having very similar problems, and we have to get tough, we have to get smart, we have to do what’s right to protect our citizens. We will never waver in the defense of our beloved country, ever.”

Trump also alluded to sending the suspect to Guantanamo Bay as a “far greater… punishment than these animals are getting right now.”

“We need quick justice and we need strong justice. Much quicker and much stronger than we have right now, because what we have right now is a joke, and it’s a laughingstock,” he continued. “No wonder so much of this stuff takes place. And I think I can speak for plenty of other countries too that are in the same situation.”
