President Trump on Tuesday afternoon threating to federalize DC over out-of-control crime.
“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!” Trump said on Truth Social.

It was revealed DOGE team member Edward Coristine, AKA ‘Big Balls’ was severely beaten by 8 black teens after he stopped to defend a woman who was being assaulted by the gang in DC the other night.

WUSA9 reported that crime in DC has ‘dropped’ in 2025; however, the Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies for minors are creating huge problems.
Juvenile crime is a huge problem in DC.
Juveniles are now disproportionately involved in carjackings and robbery.
Last month a curfew was enacted to curb juvenile crime, but DC Metro Police reports minors under the age of 18 are responsible for nearly 50% of the carjackings.

Go for it boss
I would tell Mayor Bowser: bring me the culprits in chains in 48 hours or I will take the District over.
(Prosecuting them as adults at age 14 is an excellent idea)
Yep 👍👍👍
Maybe it’s too early. But I just did a quick search. The attack on Edward Coristine is being reported by the Hindustan Times and no one else.
🤔
Two homeboys I remember from the old Fifth Precinct were Epluribus Thomas and Yogi Leonardo Washington. Sadly, only Yogi lived long enough to see the inside of a penitentiary.
Hurry, arrest them so a DC judge can immediately let them back out again. And that’s exactly what would happen.
Grrrr!
I fly into dc about 4 times per year. I see the thugs of all ages smoking weed and looking for trouble in quite a few parts of the city.
DOGE Team Member ‘Big Balls’ Severely Beaten by Gang While Defending Woman!“
This screams set up
Yep, why bothering threatening when that’s not going to do anything? Action speaks much louder than words.
“It was revealed DOGE team member Edward Coristine, AKA ‘Big Balls’ was severely beaten by 8 black teens after he stopped to defend a woman who was being assaulted by the gang in DC the other night. “
Payback and/or intimidation?
What part of DC?
Cutting the rate of violent crime would be easy in Washington D.C.; with some effort the violent crime rate could be cut by 60 percent in four weeks.
Criminals there are so dumb you could scoop them up with a butterfly net.
Federal recievetship of DC is a brilliant idea and long over due.
i grew up there. I miss the days when the mayor was responsible for half the crimes.
DC is a “city state”, much as the Vatican and City of London are. So, this is a great step towards repealing the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871.
.
FOX was reading the FBI Pimps crime reports today. That crap isn’t worth the paper it is printed on. People are getting maimed, raped and murdered left and right worse than I’ve ever seen and the FIBBIES are saying crime is down further than it’s ever been in the history of the world. What a bunch of lying morons.

This is a Remember the Alamo or a Remember the Maine event.
Remember Big Balls.
