President Donald Trump expanded on his proposal for a federal takeover of Washington, D.C., saying he will stop violent crime in the city by young 'thugs.'
The president said that a young man who was working for DOGE was 'very badly hurt' and 'beat up by a bunch of thugs in D.C.'
The identity of the 19-year-old young man involved in the reported incident is Edward Coristine, famously nicknamed 'Big Balls' by his peers.
'My friend Big Balls is a hero,' wrote Coristine's friend Marko Elez on X, who said he 'took this photo after Edward protected a young woman from an attempted carjacking by 8 thugs near Dupont Circle.'
'Violence like this in the heart of DC is completely unacceptable,' Elez concluded.
'Big Balls' was part of the group of brilliant youngsters working into the night, sleeping on office couches and surviving on pizza and Red Bull as part of Musk's original DOGE crew.
Trump appeared furious by the news.
'Either they are going to straighten their act out in terms of government and in terms of protection or we're going to have to federalize and run it the way it's supposed to be run,' he said.
Earlier Tuesday, the president posted his thoughts on the matter on social media, describing crime in Washington, D.C., as 'totally out of control,' especially among 'youths,' who were just 14, 15 and 16 years old.

Good. DC has been a dangerous mess since the 1960s at least.
Virginia has Dismal Swamp. Build a detention facility in the middle of it for the little thugs.
God bless and protect that young man! He is living, working, and fighting through some crazy times in The DC Swamp!
Yes, build a reform school, in the swamp would be best
So now the entire country gets to pay for the ghetto services in Washington. And you know that someday when we want them to take resopnsbility for themselves again some district court in DC will rull it illegal and force us to pay forever.
So, the CIA-FBI is now known as a bunch of thugs? Good to know. Sorry about Big Balls run in, but he is at least alive. Oh, and that Seth Rich incident comes to mind.
Washington DC’s young punks are getting high off the hard stuff and wiping out their minds’ ability to think. Animal instinct and pack mentality is running their lives.
If I read this right, Big Balls charged in against 8 trying to help a woman getting car-jacked?
He just made himself a real world hero.
Cool.
It’s time once and for all for America to face the real problem here:RACISM!
Racism of blacks against Whites
This has been going on for decades and the DEI s**t is the cause of it.
As it has been posted here many times ‘’America doesn’t have a racial problem. America has a problem race’’.
Intellectual prowess is not held in high regard in DC.
Keep the Federal Buildings and cede the residential portions to Maryland and Virginia.

Is it time to consider moving the Capitol out of Washington DC and into a more decently run municipality?
I still can’t believe Muriel Bowser is the mayor of DC especially after Jan 6th. Can’t Trump for that B?
Fire that B
He’s the newest Kyle Rittenhous
YUTES
Are you implying that the NEEEEGROS (can’t use the other N word) are a problem, I would have never thought of it!
Wolf packs of feral yoofs rule the night in DC. Dupont Circle is a ritzy part of DC.
And being blaq and under 18, these ferals get a love tap on the wrist by the local prosecutors.
