Former President Donald Trump attended the wake of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller Thursday afternoon at a Massapequa Park funeral home, while calling for law and order.
“Such a sad, sad event. Such a horrible thing. And it’s happening all too often and we’re just not going to let it happen,” Trump said.
“We need law and order.”
“I just visited with a very beautiful wife that now doesn’t have her husband…”
Diller was fatally shot on Monday during a traffic stop in Queens after a man with 21 prior arrests allegedly shot him in the stomach as Diller was trying to get the suspect, Guy Rivera, 34, to exit the vehicle. Rivera opened fire on Diller and his partner at about 5:45 p.m. Monday. The officers approached the vehicle because it was illegally parked at a bus stop.
Diller was 31 years old and lived in Massapequa Park with his wife and nearly 1-year-old son, YWN previously reported. He had served three years with the NYPD before his death.
Meanwhile, as NYC mourns the slain officer, President Biden, along with former presidents Obama and Clinton were partying it away in Manhattan, attending a fundraiser for Biden, which has raised $25 million.
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung, in a post on X, noted Trump’s visit and said, “Meanwhile, the Three Stooges — Biden, Obama, and Clinton — will be at a glitzy fundraiser in the city with their elitist, out-of-touch celebrity benefactors.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday that the president has spoken with New York City’s mayor, but she said she didn’t have any “private communications to share” when asked if Biden had spoken to the family of the officer who was killed. Jean-Pierre said the administration’s hearts go out to the officer’s family.

1 highly respected POTUS with 2 highly respected former president’s vs a former POTUS convicted of fraud and defamation.
I take the law and order POTUS.
I also take the POTUS whose entire administration is behind him for being a capable and efficient leader vs the former guy whose entire administration has come out that he doesn’t have the qualifications to be POTUS.
Law and order President?!? Jackk you have to be a troll!
Lostspark,
Remember what I posted in the CR? Proof positive
Such a compassionate person bringing comfort to a widow who has suffered such an unspeakable tragedy.
How could any rational person not vote for President Donald Trump שליט”א?
Both this widow & President Donald Trump שליט”א are victims of al Bragg & latitia janes ימח שמם וזכרונם
Coffee addict,
Jackk is a definitive case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Main stream media literally broke his mind.
@ Lostspark
I’m having my suspicions as well. Most of the stuff he writes is so ridiculous that I suspect that he’s a Conservative trying to make the libs look bad.
Why don’t we reframe this. To the media tizzy that would erupt if trump was president and going to a party
Jackk, these ex presidents are highly respected but maybe not for the reasons u think. Clinton was the first black president. Obama was the first Muslim president. And Biden was first hospice president.
