WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday he’s placing the Washington, D.C., police department under federal control and deploying the National Guard to make the nation’s capital safer.

Trump has promised new steps to tackle homelessness and crime in Washington, prompting the city’s mayor to voice concerns about the potential use of the National Guard to patrol the streets.

Ahead of a news conference, Trump said Monday on social media that the nation’s capital would be “LIBERATED today!” He said he would end the “days of ruthlessly killing, or hurting, innocent people.”

Violent crime in Washington D.C. is actually at a 30 year low.

    I cannot fathom being this much of a fucking moron but here we are. There’s thousands of you fucking monkeys and you’re doing everything you can to help fascism at every step while also doing nothing whatsoever to help the people of Palestine in the process, despite pretending that you care about it so deeply. You’ve helped usher in the absolute worst outcome for everybody.
