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.

Another dumb US headline … these aren’t Trump headlines … these are American headlines
This is just another example of how stupid, ignorant and complacent the American public is. What the fuck is the world coming to? Fascism is growing in the US, Israel is committing genocide and the world is just sitting on their hands and won’t do anything until WWIII breaks out … and by then, it will be too late to act any way.
Democracy won’t end because the fascists broke down the door … it will end because the door was always wide open and people just stood by and let them all in and take control.
