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.

I wonder if we’ll live to see him crown himself king
The supreme court already did that.
Effectively, sure, but you think Trump wouldn’t try to do a full on ostentatious and tacky crowning ceremony?
Yep, you just know that is 100% in the cards. He is such a piece of trash.
