Trump Says Upcoming Press Conference 'Will, Essentially, Stop Violent Crime' In DC
HuffPost
The president has notably supported congressional efforts for a federal takeover of the city several times over the past six months.
President Donald Trump declared Saturday morning on his Truth Social platform that Washington, D.C., will soon be a lot safer — and wrote in an oddly worded post that a White House press conference “will, essentially, stop violent crime” in the nation’s capital.
“On Monday a Press Conference will be held at the White House which will, essentially, stop violent crime in Washington, D.C.,” the president announced. “It has become one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World. It will soon be the safest!!!”
He ended the post with, “Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT.”
While it remains unclear what he plans to announce, Trump has supported congressional efforts for a federal takeover of the capital several times over the past six months. In February, the MAGA leader cited crime and homelessness as motivating reasons.
Last month, Trump disclosed he’s already “testing” a federal takeover of D.C.
