@Acyn · 2h Trump: Then I will look at New York in a little while… If we need to we'll do the same thing in Chicago. We have an incompetent Governor there. Pritzker is incompetent. His family threw him out of the business

@JBPritzker · 1h Donald, thanks for the compliment!
Let’s not lie to the public, you and I both know you have no authority to take over Chicago.
Because Biden never campaigned on releasing the Epstein files and they existed in the DOJ which all presidents except for Trump, kept away from and let the DOJ run on its own?
But yet you want Trump to tell his DOJ to release everything.
I like the way you failed to quote the entire sentence.....

Better. And no, I want Trump to do what he promised.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump said on Monday he was deploying 800 National Guard troops to Washington and putting the city's police department under federal control, an extraordinary assertion of presidential power in the nation's capital.
Trump's move, which bypassed the city's elected leaders, was emblematic of his approach to his presidency, wielding executive authority in ways that have little precedent in modern U.S. history and in defiance of political norms.
The president cast his actions as necessary to "rescue" Washington from what he described as a wave of lawlessness, despite statistics showing that violent crime hit a 30-year low in 2024 and has continued to decline this year.
"I'm deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order and public safety in Washington, D.C.," Trump told a news conference at the White House. "Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals."
He has to do something every few days to produce gas for his base, and bitching about crime in big cities is the perfect chunk of red meat for rightwing media to swallow and allow to bloat in the conservative colon, otherwise these poor dumb conservatives would suffocate with their heads shoved so far up Trumps ass.
Yes, but they won't notice at first, they just get a little 'light' headed due to the fumes. Sure, eventually it leads to massive brain cell damage, but let's be honest here, as the owner of the ass in which they reside once said, none of these folk are the "sharpest bulbs" which is likely why he chose them...
Simple, right? Just end crime. I mean what has been holding back society all these centuries? I didn’t realize we could just end it. I hope she tells us all the secret.
Lowest crime levels in years and rather than take the win, tout how DC is safer because he's in office, Trump childishly blows up a false narrative because Musk's little DOGE minion was out at 3 a.m. and got punched by two teenagers that were arrested.
No one asks why was the DOGE minion nicknamed "big balls" hanging out in DC at 3 a.m. if CRIME WAS SO BAD??!!! Is he stupid?
Trump is trying on dictatorship using a flimsy excuse to see if Americans will call him out on this over reach.
Two teenagers punching someone out and being arrested does NOT need the National Guard or the military!!!!
How much is this stunt costing the American taxpayers!
Why aren't Trump and crew calling out the same show of force in red states which have drastically higher crime and murder rates?
Trump's revenge tour Part 2 is going after the DC base voters who rejected him at the ballot box.
He didn't call out the National Guard or the military on the January 6th rioters at the Capitol so why now?
I thought the right wing excuse at the time on J6 was that only Pelosi could or should have called out the National Guard on the rioters?
I can’t fathom believing the murder rate in dc is acceptable.
One can argue that any murders in any city is unacceptable. The murder rate in DC was 26.4 per 100,000 in 2024 and in Republican run Shreveport, Louisiana it was 41.07 per 100,000. Why isn't the President taking over Shreveport? Oh yeah, because this is nothing but a partisan show he's putting on for his gullible base who gobble this shit up.
It seems that Pres Trump has declared war on the minority and homeless populations of the nation's capital in order to divert attention from the other crap he is doing - giving away part of a sovereign nation to his buddy Putin, hiding his relationship and likely involvement with Epstein and his continued dismantling of our democracy.
A lot of the homeless in DC are vets but that will make no difference to a draft dodger

By the way, where are the Epstein files?

‘By the way, where are the Epstein files?’
I wonder where is tweet about that was during dementia boy and his DEI hire VP regime.
Probably because it was (D)ifferent then.
Because Biden never campaigned on releasing the Epstein files and they existed in the DOJ which all presidents except for Trump, kept away from and let the DOJ run on its own?
But yet you want Trump to tell his DOJ to release everything.
Weird logic.
I like the way you failed to quote the entire sentence.....
Better. And no, I want Trump to do what he promised.
Too bad an Obama appointed judge nixed that idea
I bet this judge knows more than what you want to know about those files.
That's the grand jury info, NOT the Epstein files that Trump promised to release.
I don't give a shit about the grand jury records, they won't go into Epstein's cohorts. I want to see what Trump promised to show us.
He said he would release the Epstein files. Grand jury docs are huge part of that.
An appointee by your god nixed the most important part of those files.
Be mad at her, not Trump
No they don't.
Yes because the grand jury saw everything prosecutors had to show, they knew nothing and what they saw meant nothing s/
The stats were cooked to conceal the truth that crime really has gone up in DC
This should be good for him through at least a couple news cycles.
He can't just take over cities like that. He can try but I'm pretty sure there's a law against it.
Maybe Jared Kushner will be the new police commissioner of Washington DC.
Other cities true, but Washington DC is a special animal. Congress holds final authority over the city.
I would expect multiple law suits to be filed over this.
He has to do something every few days to produce gas for his base, and bitching about crime in big cities is the perfect chunk of red meat for rightwing media to swallow and allow to bloat in the conservative colon, otherwise these poor dumb conservatives would suffocate with their heads shoved so far up Trumps ass.
Wouldn't they suffocate anyway? All that methane is a chemical asphyxiant. But good analogy!

Pam Bondi said crime is ending today in D.C.
Simple, right? Just end crime. I mean what has been holding back society all these centuries? I didn’t realize we could just end it. I hope she tells us all the secret.
From what I've read and seen, ancient Rome had quite a violent crime problem. It was also the largest city in the empire.
She has a magic wand

you don't actually believe that was the reason, do you ?
What a joke. Trump is and will always be, unfortunately, too serious to be laughed at.
One can argue that any murders in any city is unacceptable. The murder rate in DC was 26.4 per 100,000 in 2024 and in Republican run Shreveport, Louisiana it was 41.07 per 100,000.

Can you think of a difference in the relationship with their relationship to the federal government between Shreveport and Washington, D.C.?
Little Rock is a good example. I know it's a much smaller city than DC but we have nearly one murder/day
Possibly because the blue cities within red states hike the crime statistics

The nation's capital should be the best, safest, cleanest and prosperous city in the country, It used to be a good city,
