Despite online criticism, the company refused to back away from its advertisement, and now even President Donald Trump has weighed in.

Even officials who used to come out strongly in support of defunding the police, or who made statements criticizing the police, are now changing their narratives. And this includes Democratic mayoral candidate for New York City, Zohran Mamdani.
