President Donald Trump went out for dinner Tuesday night in Washington, D.C. to celebrate the stunning success of his crime fighting measures in the nation’s capital. The event was marred by protesters from the Hamas terrorist supporting group, Code Pink, who were waiting inside the restaurant to heckle Trump.
Trump was joined by Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and several other senior administration officials for dinner at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab, located just two blocks from the White House at 750 15th St., NW.
In a show of how well he has secured D.C. from violent crime, Trump spoke to reporters for several minutes while on the sidewalk outside the restaurant as Vance, Rubio and Hegseth stood nearby.

Several protesters, likely tipped off in advance by restaurant staff in the 90 percent voting District of Columbia, started heckling Trump with a chant of, “Free D.C., free Palestine, Trump is the Hitler of our time!” while waving Palestinian flag motif banners.

Code Pink posted a video taking credit for heckling Trump inside the restaurant, “While Trump, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth and others feasted at a steakhouse, we stood our ground and told them the truth: Free DC. Free Palestine. Trump is the Hitler of our time.
Two years into genocide, Gaza is under evacuation orders, Puerto Rico and Venezuela are in the crosshairs, and the Pentagon openly calls itself the Department of War. Trump looked us in the eyes, we made sure he will never dine in peace while communities are under siege.”
