President Trump announced on his Truth Social platform that a White House press conference will soon lead to a significant reduction in violent crime in Washington, D.C. He described the city as one of the most dangerous worldwide but asserted it would soon become the safest. Despite his claims, recent reports indicated a 26% drop in violent crime this year compared to last. Trump's push for federal intervention has been influenced by his perceptions of crime and safety and has been reinforced by recent violent incidents in D.C.
On Monday a Press Conference will be held at the White House which will, essentially, stop violent crime in Washington, D.C. It has become one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World. It will soon be the safest!
While it remains unclear what he plans to announce, Trump has supported congressional efforts for a federal takeover of the capital several times over the past six months.
The district's Metropolitan Police Department confirmed Friday that in a year-to-date comparison to the same period last year, violent crime had dropped by 26%.
Trump's apparent desire to take over D.C. was seemingly revived by Saturday's assault of Edward Coristine, a former federal staffer.
