President Donald Trump stood in the White House press briefing room Monday morning, declaring it “Liberation Day in D.C.” and announcing that he was taking over Washington, D.C.’s police force. Invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, a rarely used provision of federal law, Trump said he was placing the Metropolitan Police Department under direct White House control and deploying the D.C. National Guard into city streets.

    Satire:

    All hail trump, narcissist and senile fascist leader of the immigrant yet somehow pure blood Americans! He has graced us all with another glorious decision! There is really no other way to get rid of the homeless infestation (except ofc providing a minimum safety net and having a semblance of empathy). He just has the balls to do what other, democratic, leaders don’t dare (like full dictatorship).

    Real talk:

    Good luck out there.

      Sure, the homelessness situation in the USA is dire, but there is only one reason to single out Washington DC, and it surely isn’t homeless people.
