President Trump, on Friday in the Oval Office, signaled to reporters that he may remove Mayor Muriel Bowser from office if she doesn’t “get her act straight” amid his federal takeover of DC.
“Mayor Bowser better get her act straight, or she won’t be mayor very long because we’re taking over with the federal government, running it like it’s supposed to be run,” he said.
The President announced in the Oval Office that Washington, DC, will host the 2026 FIFA World Cup final draw and noted that his administration is “spending a lot of money wisely” to make the city beautiful and safe again.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump declared a “public safety emergency,” citing high crime and unsafe streets in the nation’s capital, and federalized the DC police force last week. He further authorized the use of National Guard troops and deployed federal agents across the city to tackle the rampant crime, homelessness, and illegal immigration crises.
The President activated 800 DC National Guardsmen after he declared that it was “Liberation Day in DC” last Monday.
As a result, hundreds of criminals have been removed from the streets and Washington, DC is safer.
Trump said on Friday that this move led to “the lowest crime numbers they’ve had in years,” while highlighting the zero murders in DC this week. “That’s the first time in memory that that’s happened, if you can believe it, how pathetic that is to have to even say it,” he said.
WATCH:
Trump: In Washington, DC, we have the lowest crime numbers they’ve had in years. Zero, it sounds like it’s a horrible thing to say but I might as well say it, zero murders in the last week since we’ve done this. That’s the first time in memory that that’s happened, if you can believe it, how pathetic that is to have to even say it. And I’m tired of listening to these people say how safe it was before we got here. It was unsafe. It was horrible.
And Mayor Bowser better get her act straight, or she won’t be mayor very long because we’re taking over with the federal government, running it like it’s supposed to be run. The numbers were horrible. It was a crime-infested rat hole, and they do have a lot of rats— we’re getting rid of them too. And we’ve made a lot of progress, and it was extremely unsafe and now it’s extremely safe. We had virtually no crime and the number was down 87%, and I’m trying to figure out where is the 13% because I don’t think it existed.
The Gateway Pundit will continue to provide updates on Trump’s DC Crime crackdown.
