Donald Trump suggested he would enact a similar federalization of law enforcement in major cities including New York, LA and Chicago if they didn’t “self-clean-up” problems of crime and homelessness.

“We’re going to have a tremendous success of what we’re doing,” he said.

“Other cities are hopefully watching this. They’re all watching just like everyone’s watching here, they’re all watching, and maybe they’ll self clean up.”

“We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital,” he posted. “The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong.”

It has also been reported that the president is sending in 120 FBI agents on overnight shifts to help local law enforcement battle crime in the district.

    You mean like they didn’t do on January 6th? Remember when the president of South Korea tried this and was arrested and removed from office?

      Military and Parliament did their jobs.

      US Congress completely abdicated their Constitution duties and DoD is too busy making money for defense and tech companies
