President Trump put DC Mayor Muriel Bowser on notice Wednesday, demanding that she clean up the city’s homeless encampments, specifically surrounding the White House and the State Department.
“If she is not capable of doing so, we will be forced to do it for her!” the President declared.
Per The Hill:
Last month, Trump said “the governance” of the nation’s capital should be acquired by the federal government.
“I think that we should govern the District of Columbia,” Trump said to reporters at the time. “I think that we should run it strong, run it with law and order, make it absolutely flawless.”
The Hill has reached out to the Washington, D.C., government for comment.
The President released his statement on Truth Social Wednesday evening.
Trump: We have notified the Mayor of Washington, D.C., that she must clean up all of the unsightly homeless encampments in the City, specifically including the ones outside of the State Department, and near the White House. If she is not capable of doing so, we will be forced to do it for her! Washington, D.C. must become CLEAN and SAFE! We want to be proud of our Great Capital again. Thank you Mayor Bowser for your efforts on behalf of the Citizens of our Country. Hopefully you will be successful!
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
