Leading Democrats on Thursday slammed presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump one day before he holds a rally at the San Diego Convention Center.

In a conference call with local media, Rep. Scott Peters, D-San Diego, described the businessman as “dangerous” and “out of touch” with hard-working families.

Peters also accused Trump, who Thursday reached the number of delegates necessary for the GOP nomination, of rooting for the recession-era housing slump so he could make a profit, opposing the minimum wage, lacking in foreign policy experience and relying on “misinformed ideas” about other countries.

“He is dangerous, he is divisive, and he is a demagogue, while Californians are tolerant and inclusive,” Peters said. “We don’t think it’s fine to call Mexican immigrants ‘rapists’ and ‘drug-dealers,’ and we don’t think it’s fine to ban an entire religion from entering our country.”

Former Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher criticized Trump’s statements regarding veterans, and San Diego County Democratic Party Chairwoman Francine Busby said he would be “a disaster” for women and seniors.

Speaking in North Dakota, Trump announced his “America First” energy plan in which he said “American energy dominance will be declared a strategic economic and foreign policy goal of the United States.”

He said his plan would remove bureaucracy from energy innovation, and wean the country off energy imports.

Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman vowed that law enforcement will tolerate no violence, disruptive behavior or unlawful acts at the Trump event.

“For anyone who comes to disrupt, to do illegal activities, we will take swift and decisive action to make sure we have a peaceful event,” Zimmerman told news crews Wednesday.

The department plans to have a “significant presence” of uniformed and plainclothes officers at Friday’s bayside gathering and has coordinated with state, local and federal agencies to promptly put a stop to any combative or destructive protesters or counter-protesters, the chief said.

The city has designated demonstration zones — one for Trump supporters and another for those who oppose the 69-year-old billionaire real estate magnate’s presidential bid — on the northwest and southeast sides of the Harbor Drive center and will strictly enforce attendees’ comportment while ensuring their constitutional free-speech rights, Zimmerman told reporters.

“And we are well-prepared to respond,” she said.

Seven adults and one juvenile were arrested outside a Trump rally Wednesday in Anaheim after some protesters hurled bottles at police and others tried to climb over a barrier. Police said that prompted officers to declare an unlawful assembly and begin attempts to disperse the crowd.
