Trump threatened in a social media post to declare a national emergency over crime in Washington. His comments came just days after Mayor Muriel Bowser said D.C. police would stop helping federal agents.

He has also spent thousands of dollars to have large pictures of himself hanging off federal buildings, you know just like North Korea
Can't wait to see those fall, it will be glorious.
They need to burn
Didn't he just get booed out of a restaurant last week trying to prove how safe DC is now? How did it turn into a national emergency over the weekend?
I don’t think he got booed out but there were definitely protestors in the restaurant yelling at him. I think he had the SS escort them out
Of course. He vood haf ze⚡️⚡️ eskort zem out. Your papers, please.
Under the D.C. Home Rule Act the president can only direct the city’s police for 30 days in an “emergency”, and Trump’s authority expired last week.
But he is so incompetent he couldn't get the trash cleaned up enough yet and there is still an emergency. There is trash in the parks and leaves are falling that need raking. The emergency must be dealt with by him and only him, Mr. Incompetent.
Because the regime cut out funding for park maintenance. The right has been pushing US decline since at least Reagan in every way possible. They needed drug addiction like they needed the border issue to continue. The Republicans are responsible for our decline, homelessness is on them too!
I think the DC police should go in and arrest the pedophiles in the White House, child molesters and sex traffickers. Talk about a switch of jurisdiction. Last time I checked the White House, it's squarely within DC. Since it seems like the law doesn't matter anymore, they might as well.
By doing it only 29 days which they did. Then you don’t have to pay full cost of living in the area or any money if need healthcare. Yep they care about military to only use as their pawns.
Ah, that explains a lot. Some friends of mine were on vacation in DC last week and they said it was weird how the soldiers just disappeared suddenly. First, they were everywhere. Then, they were nowhere.
phew, can we all go home now, speaking for the military, and the NG on a 29 day schedule so they don't get their benefits..
Save most of, but not all of, the District of Columbia, Annex the State of Maryland! (Actually, it occurs the other way, but you get what I mean. ;-)
Trump wants to declare an emergency / martial law so bad … … Just like Hitler.
They *really* want a Reichstag, but they aren't willing to burn it down themeselves. Thus all the provocations.
Except he's more like dumb Hitler and his bunch or morons. I didn't realize how many horrible people were in this country until Bone Spurs got elected and filled his cabinet with them.
Don’t forget the millions of morons who elected he and his merry band of lickspittle’s and dwitling’s
I don't know what those words mean or have ever heard them before but I'll allow it. 😜
Olde English for bootlickers and dimwitted.
Perfect. The Scots have same good ones too.
I’d love to learn them!
What’s stopping him? He’s allowed to do everything else he wants.
His master Putin wants total control over D.C. so he has to change course to appease his master.
Just yesterday he said he'd "fixed crime" in DC...
He’s acting like a two year old, needs a time out.
Didn't he just say DC was never safer?
I chgallenge you to show me where the US doesn’t fit this definition exactly right now. The current US government embodies ALL of these characteristics.
They are destroying democracy "for our own good." MAGA wants a dictator.
I thought Governor M. Bowser changed her mind and caved?
This is a precursor. Pay attention. 🚨🚨🚨TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY🚨🚨🚨 4 #DC bills will be on the House Floor. 1 giving Trump, the President full authority to choose DCs Judge; 2. lowering the age of the adult to 14 years old to prosecute (perfect for those Epstein files);
3. Policing Protections: Removing restrictions of chasing fleeing vehicles 4. Incarcerating young people longer and surveillance of them, publicly. 🚨CALL YOUR REPS!🚨
So, is he admitting that putting the National Guard and federal agents all over DC didn't work? Didn't he just say that it was so much better in DC now? It can't be both!
And it turns out, or so it is being reported, that his federal officers and troops are avoiding the high crime areas anyway. They are concentrating on the areas most often on the news or where the elite go. The neighborhoods that need them most are being ignored.
Of course they are!! The real criminals would make them have to work to catch them. Remember the real criminals most likely have an arsenal of firearms,and won’t think twice about using them!
Same reason ICE has never tried to go after a gang and take them in. Those cowards and thugs know their body count would be much lower than the gang's.
Landscaping duties prevail.
Indeed, we must not let the sidewalks get dirty! 🤣
Lowest crime rate in 20 years. Yup. Huge emergency. Just more lies to divide everyone
She saw what happened when Chicago stood up. He stopped his plans. This is the response all cities need to enact. TACO
Will he halt construction on the Ballroom because of the emergency?
What crime? He went out to dinner to show there was no more crime I thought?
Didn't he recently say that crime was completely gone because of the National Guard's presence? How is there a national emergency of crime is gone?
It sure seems like the mayors and governors in the U.S. have a great opportunity to muck up Trump's shit by agreeing to work with him and then backing out (pulling a 180) over and over. Just as he does to muck up the system. Make things extremely difficult and never let him know what's next.
He so badly wants to control *something* within his reach. I am waiting for him to demand some junior congressman from a fiery red state put forth a bill for the district be renamed “Trumpburg” or some nonsense.
Trump is the national emergency - impeach him!
What a bully he is.
And here he said he had already solved DC crime. So which is it--problem solved at Trump speed or out-of-control crime that requires his continued takeover of DC? How about neither? We knew all along it was a pretext for yet another power grab.
Of course!
He’s the national emergency! Spending taxpayer money like there’s no tomorrow! Ruining our White House one idiotic project at a time. Ruining our country at the direction of the Republican Party.
Again another perfect opportunity for the NRA people to raise up against the tyrannical government but it doesn’t fit the narrative so they remain silent.
But there is no crime. He dined out to prove it.
He heads to the UK on Wednesday...please keep him busy until then. He is really wound-up today and the EPSTEIN files are weighing on him!
🤬🤬🤬
There must be some mulching that still needs to be done. Trump will continue to disrespect our military as long as it makes him feel good.
WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES Mr. President?
The only crime in Washington is the trump administration.
