Donald Trump Threatens Total Takeover
of Washington, DC
Aug 22, 2025

President Donald Trump has threatened a
"complete and total" federal takeover of
Washington, D.C., amid a dispute over
the city's crime figures.

Trump has already deployed federal troops,
officers and agents to D.C. as part of a
crackdown on crime and homelessness.

Trump said on August 11 that the city had
been "overtaken by violent gangs and
bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of
wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and
homeless people."

Trump's intervention marks an unprecedented
federal involvement in the local governance
of the District of Columbia. The deployment
of federal troops has sparked a backlash
over constitutional limits and home rule
rights.

Critics argue that it breaches democratic
principles and could set a dangerous
precedent, while supporters frame it as a
necessary measure for public order.

The deployment, aimed at addressing crime
in the city, stands out as one of the most
forceful federal actions in local policing
in decades, even as crime rates have fallen
to their lowest point in 30 years.

The official figures show that DC crime
is going down.

The Trump response:

"Never mind the official crime numbers,
I know crime better than anyone, I am the
leading expert, trust me, DC is a cesspool
of gang crime, I am the only answer"

Notorious racist pedophile Stephen Miller says organized crime run by Dagos and Jews is behind all the crime and it's multitudes higher than the outrageous left wing lies provided by the Trump hating statisticians and
law enforcement.
