The crime and dysfunction in Washington, D.C., is an embarrassment to the country. President Donald Trump rightly called out the problem at a press conference on Tuesday and offered a solution.
“We have tremendous power at the White House to run places when we have to. We could run D.C. I mean, we’re … looking at D.C.,” Trump said. “Susie Wiles is working very closely with [Mayor Muriel Bowser].”
Wiles is the president’s chief of staff. What Trump said Tuesday is actually doubling down on comments he made earlier in the year.
“I think that we should govern District of Columbia,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One in late February, according to Reuters. “We should run it strong, run it with law and order, make it absolutely flawlessly beautiful. And I think we should take over Washington, D.C.—Make it safe.”
