Trump sponsored Jan 06 resulting in 5 deaths, over 100 police injured. Property damage estimated to be $2.7 billion, including expenses incurred by Capitol Police, District of Columbia, & federal agencies, & security upgrades. $5MIL gifted to Ashli Babbit. Trump's been the crime wave in D.C.

True, but they typically leave local police matters to Metro PD. There was an incident where DC said food trucks were allowed, but Park Police said not in the parks, and while the trucks were on the street (DC jurisdiction), the sidewalks were part of the park. There was a standoff between the two.

Everything Congress controls is subject to Presidential veto. Congress controls by legislation and all of it is required to go through his office after they pass it. That's the Constitutional process. He signs, it passes. He vetoes, it can only be repassed by 2/3 of each House.

No. I disagree. The Federal District should be reduced in size to just the White House, Capitol Building, Mall and federal offices, and the rest of it ceded back to the State of Maryland which originally gave it up. That can be done; the Virginia side was ceded back and formed Alexandria.

That's not going to happen at all and Trump has nothing to do with it. He has no say at all as President. It would take a Constitutional amendment to make DC a State and there are 50 States right now, some of which don't want their representation diluted even more than it is by counting aliens.

So I'm proposing a much easier solution, because all it would take is a law, not an Amendment, and the consent of one State who would have another city full of Democrats added to it and likely add one more Representative to its Congressional delegation. That's a gift, I'd take it if I were them.

More to the point it would cause a whole lot less contention than adding two Senators, both Democrats, splitting the country in half in acrimonious disharmony, and never passing because of it. My proposal has a much, much better chance.

It makes DC much less of a problem for a lot of us on one side, and makes a State bigger with territory that was originally theirs anyway, with lots of people who already vote the way of their majority.

So that accomplishes several ends at once: Columbians get full Congressional representation as part of Maryland, the bureaucrats are kept away from double-dipping on Federal power, US party makeup is not overly disturbed, and some power is given back to a State that had to give it up 225 years ago.
