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.

So, obviously crime on the streets of DC isn’t the real reason to target that place. So what is? What especially heinous thing is he about to do, for which he requires extra security?
Racism. Most homeless are non-white, aren’t they? I think this coming from the part of Trump’s brain that is controlled by Stephen Miller. The D.C. mayor was on a talk show on Sunday bitching about Miller claiming that D.C. is more violent than Baghdad.
Epstein files, probably. The same reason why he is suddenly so active internationally with his “peace initiatives”
He’s about to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell and he expects problems
Round up the homeless people and put them in the camps.
Trump and co self report their next move about a week in advance. He let slip that little nugget when he was talking about big balls
That’s the official story. I’m asking what is the secret, even worse plan.
There is no secret plan. These people are incompetent, they project every move, and if they don’t it leaks
Also, I don’t think you understand how bad rounding up the homeless is. These are largely people with mental issues or in extreme poverty. They’re going to be put in cages and tortured. They probably aren’t going to kill them directly, but they’ll put them in conditions where they’ll die
This is what the Nazis did to kick off the Holocaust, just stupider
“Infirm and lame” first, then the unions, then the socialists and communists, then the dissenters, then the “vermin”.
