Donald Trump said that the federal government should “capture Washington DC,” as the US President complained about crime, graffiti and “lots of tents on lawn”.
Trump has a controversial relationship with the country’s capital Democratic Mayor, Murial Boseer, as he had his first term in the office.
“I think we should control the district of Colombia … I think we should strengthen it, run it with law and order, make it absolutely innocent,” they made it innocent, “they made it innocent late Wednesday with journalists on Air Force one late on Wednesday night Said.
“The federal government should handle the DC rule and really run it properly.”
Trump said he likes the mayor and becomes “great” with him. “But they are not working – too much crime, too much frescoes, lots of tents on the lawn.”
The Republican leader said that he wanted to make the city safe because people were “being killed” and “being hurt.”
He also said the issue of being homeless, saying: “It is a sad thing, homeless people everywhere.
“We got to take care of the homeless, but we can’t be in Washington, DC.”
Trump welcomed foreign leaders and expressed concern to the city to see this situation, including French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Kir Stmper and China’s Xi Jinping.
“You cannot let this happen, you can’t just let this happen.
“You can’t tents on your once fantastic plaza and lawn.”
Washington, with a population of about 700,000, is a federal district instead of a state.
Two Republican MPs introduced a bill in early February to cancel the city’s Home Rules Act, which would effectively take away the mayor of their authority and the city council.
Senator Mike Lee said, “The DC government’s corruption, crime and disability have been embarrassed for the capital of our country for decades,” Senator Mike Lee said, Congress should restore “respect and integrity” in the city.
Busar has not directly responded to the President, but X said on X that Washington is “a world class city.”
He also said that this is the only place in the United States where you can see Panda for free.
