In the last decade, Washington, D.C., has seen a spike in violent crimes as Democrats have taken control over the city.
In 2023, D.C. had a homicide rate of 40.9 per 100,000 residents, which ranked 4th in the nation.
President Trump has now floated an idea of potentially fixing this problem.
During his recent Cabinet meeting at the White House, the 47th President hinted that the federal government could take over D.C.
ABC News had more on Trump’s potential takeover of D.C.:
President Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested a federal takeover of New York City and Washington.
The comments came when Trump, during a meeting of his Cabinet at the White House, was asked about New York City’s upcoming mayoral election.
Trump attacked Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani, who describes himself as a democratic socialist, and ticked through the other contenders, including Eric Adams, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa, though he declined to endorse anyone.
“We’re not going to have — if a communist gets elected to run New York, it can never be the same. But we have tremendous power at the White House to run places when we have to,” Trump said.
Trump didn’t elaborate on what authority that would be as he then turned his focus to the nation’s capital.
“We could run D.C. We’re looking at D.C. We don’t want crime in D.C. We want the city to run well,” he said. He said his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, was working with Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser.
