Trump says Biden could have gone to slain NYPD cop Jonathan Diller’s wake in 30 minutes and it wasn’t ‘rocket science’ to call the grieving family before he went to his glitzy fundraiser

Donald Trump said Joe Biden’s supporters will not allow him to support the police, as the former president criticized his rival for ignoring the wake of slain New York police officer Jonathan Diller.

Trump attended the vigil on Thursday, while Biden was also in New York for a political fundraiser with former Democratic presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

Trump told Fox News that Biden could have been at the wake “within half an hour, depending on the mode of travel, they have pretty quick trips.”

He continued: ‘I think politically he (Biden) cannot support the police. I think he’s making a mistake too, but I think politically his base won’t allow him to support the police.

‘And I support the police, I would say at the highest level of any president by far, maybe double or triple that.

And they knew that’s why when I walked into that funeral home it was like love. They simply want to avoid it.

He said Biden and his team had not even called the officer’s family.

“They didn’t even call the family,” he said. ‘They could have called. You don’t have to be a genius.

But he added: “I’m not sure they will take your call.”

Officer Diller was shot and killed in Queens during a routine traffic stop on Monday.

The former president told Fox News: “We really lost a hero, the family is devastated, the police force is devastated.”

‘It’s happening more and more. “It’s really a lack of respect for law and order.”

Speaking at the ceremony for Officer Diller, 31, on Thursday, Trump said: “What happened is such a sad event, such a horrible thing and it’s happening too often.”

‘It is an honor to be here, but this is a very sad occasion. “We have to toughen it up, we have to strengthen it, things like this shouldn’t happen.”
