President Trump proposed on Friday that the federal government could take over Washington, D.C.
“We're cleaning the city. We're cleaning this great capital, we're not going to commit crimes, we're not going to support crime. We're going to defeat the graffiti and we're already being taken to our tents,” Trump said in a speech on Law and Order of the Department of Justice (DOJ).
“We're working with the administration and if the administration can't do its job… we need to get it back and do it through the federal government,” the president said of district leadership.
“But we hope that the administration will be possible. So far they've done a very good job. The mayor has done a good job.”

Trump says he's saying he's “great” with Mayor Muriel Bowser (D). Who calls it DC? “World-class city.”
However, he clashed with Bowser during his first term, including when the riots exploded in the city in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder. The mayor had “Black Life Matter,” painted on one of the streets that led to the White House at the time. It was then removed in Trump's second season.
On Friday, Congress warned this week that Washington, D.C., was warned that Washington, D.C., would warn that it would lead to a $1 billion cut in the district's local budget.
The president has long been critical of the city's conditions that knock on crime levels and the homeless population.
Trump added Friday that he “want to have a capital that can become a world story.”
When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French Emmanuel Macron visited the White House in recent weeks, Trump said they “drove the route,” so world leaders avoided looking at tents, graffiti or potholes.
