Trump spoke to the crowd of mourners about “toughening up” law and order after visiting Diller’s wake.
Nassau County cops stood behind Trump outside the funeral home as he delivered his remarks in the rain.
“What happened is such a sad event,” Trump told reporters. “It’s happening all too often and we’re just not going to let it happen.
“Twenty-one times arrested, this thug,” he said, referring to suspected killer, ex-con Guy Rivera.
“The person in the car with him was arrested many times and they don’t learn because they don’t respect,” the former president added.
“The Diller family will never be the same. We have to stop it. We have to get back to law and order.”
“We have to do a lot of things differently because this is not working. This is happening too often,” Trump said.
“This is such a sad occasion. The only thing we can say is maybe something’s going to be learned. We’ve gotta toughen it up and strengthen it up.
“Things like this shouldn’t take place and take place so often. We’ve gotta tough it. We’ve gotta have law and order. These things can’t happen. We need law and order.”
After Trump spoke, the crowd yelled “Thank you President Trump”.
