WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday he’s placing the Washington, D.C., police department under federal control and deploying the National Guard to make the nation’s capital safer.
Trump has promised new steps to tackle homelessness and crime in Washington, prompting the city’s mayor to voice concerns about the potential use of the National Guard to patrol the streets.
Ahead of a news conference, Trump said Monday on social media that the nation’s capital would be “LIBERATED today!” He said he would end the “days of ruthlessly killing, or hurting, innocent people.”
Violent crime in Washington D.C. is actually at a 30 year low.

If there’s concern about criminals in DC, let’s start with the sexual predator living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
We all know he doesn’t actually live at the White House. He does all his most important work from the Mar-a-Lago bathroom.
Some people read magazines or scroll social media while they shit, but THIS GUY reads classified national secrets.
What’s funny is he is simultaneously too dumb to be reading that sort of thing and too dumb to not understand how national security works.
I usually just browse Lemmy when I’m shitting. Top secret reports would be way more interesting than reposted memes!
