President Donald Trump condemned attacks against innocent Americans carried out by lawless teen thugs with virtual impunity in the District of Columbia, as Elon Musk revealed a man recently assaulted was a DOGE team member many speculated to be Edward “Big Balls” Coristine.
Trump on Tuesday issued a Truth Social statement calling on children as young as 14-years-old to be prosecuted as adults in D.C., arguing lawless bands of “youths” attacking innocent Americans are emboldened by Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies.
Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control. Local “youths” and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released. They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it’s going to happen now! The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these “minors” as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14. The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs. Washington, D.C., must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans and, importantly, for the World to see. If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore. Perhaps it should have been done a long time ago, then this incredible young man, and so many others, would not have had to go through the horrors of Violent Crime. If this continues, I am going to exert my powers, and FEDERALIZE this City. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
The president’s message was accompanied by a photo of a shirtless young white man with blood on his face, who appeared to have been the victim of the assault.
On Tuesday afternoon, former DOGE team lead Elon Musk added more details to President Trump’s message, stating, “A few days ago, a gang of about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her car at night in DC. A @Doge team member saw what was happening, ran to defend her and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but he saved her. It is time to federalize DC.”
Trump corroborated that the victim was a DOGE employee during an Executive Order signing Tuesday afternoon, telling reporters: “Somebody from DOGE was very badly hurt last night—a young man who was beaten up by a bunch of thugs in D.C. Either they’re going to straighten their act out, or we’re going to have to federalize and run it the way it’s supposed to be run.”
On social media, many speculated based on the man’s likeness in the photo shared by Trump that the unnamed victim could be DOGE’s Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, who was unfairly maligned earlier this year by the legacy media.

Independent journalist Patrick Casey appeared to have confirmed the man in the photo was Coristine, but no official source had verified his identity as of writing.
“Big Balls” reportedly resigned at the end of June following Musk’s exit.
If the reports are true, Big Balls has certainly lived up to his monicker.
Just another day fighting the good fight, for BigBalz. Just look at the picture of him all bloodied up. He looks totally non-plussed. The guy’s an inspiration and he’s a patriot.
TV said a reported “up to a dozen” males surrounded him and beat him and he has a concussion.
True, he was singled out for coming to the aid of a woman, not because they necessarily recognized him for helping reduce the bureaucracy numbers in the government.
Do it, President Trump.
Too bad armed self defense is a much more serious crime in DC than armed robbery, attempted murder, assault, etc. if the “teens” commit adult crimes, then let them face adult consequences including the dirt nap handed out by a potential victim. Kill one or two every time they try this crap and the survivors will be much better citizens if only because the ones who won’t learn are eliminated from the gene pool.
There might be some change in attitudes.
I think it might be better to move more of the federal bureaucrappy far away from washedUpDC, instead of expending the direct federal bureaucrappy to take over the DC jungle.
After significantly right- sizing (reducing) the federal bureaucrappy, of course.
Eliminate unconstitutional programs like education, aeeeeeeteeeeeEfff, and at least held a dozen paramilitary outfits. Many more can be reduced, too.
This sll will cut the moving expenses.
It sounds like D.C. needs a “No Bag Limit.”
They made a life-time enemy out of a tech wiz with unlimited resources. Their families are getting a government resource audit, for starters.
Revoke all government (taxpayer) benefits to the baby mommas of thugs forever.
There might be some change in attitudes.

I like that. They need to be forced to pay any damages or injury costs. Take it out of baby mommas welfare checks.
“lawless teen thugs”
Why will they not just clearly state feral negros?
Happening everywhere. County fairs, community events getting shut down due to this bs. This is why we can’t have nice things.
and now you know why they call him BIG BALLS
thank you BIG BALLS for coming to the aid of that lady
A lot of this is happening because judges are idiots.
Trump -
Just declare Martial Law already, put troops on the streets of all big cities including DC, and put a stop to these assaults on white people.
Round up all illegal aliens at the same time and get them OUT OF HERE.
Heinous criminal illegals and just ordinary criminal illegals too.
ALL OF THEM.
We want our country back. The United States of America, a federal republic.
Not a “democracy”.
They know exactly what they are doing.
“teens”
In agreement with Pres. Trump’s post(s). Time for talk is over.
I’d say charge the parents for the crimes their offspring commit but the U.S. taxpayer is the other parent via the government.
Pronto.
