Trump calls Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser ‘incompetent’ in Black Lives Matter feud

In a series of tweets, Trump ripped Bowser after the Democratic mayor painted “Black Lives Matter” in huge letters on the street leading to the White House earlier Friday and demanded the president withdraw the thousands of National Guard troops deployed to the nation’s capital.

“The incompetent Mayor of Washington, D.C., @MayorBowser, who’s budget is totally out of control and is constantly coming back to us for ‘handouts’, is now fighting with the National Guard, who saved her from great embarrassment over the last number of nights,” Trump tweeted.

“If she doesn’t treat these men and women well, then we’ll bring in a different group of men and women!” he continued.

In a huge political statement Friday morning, Bowser designated the square in front of Lafayette Park as Black Lives Matter Plaza and ordered city staffers and local artists to paint “Black Lives Matter” in enormous yellow letters on the street that leads to the White House.

“There was a dispute this week about whose street this is,” John Falcicchio, Bowser’s chief of staff, wrote in a tweet.

“Mayor Bowser wanted to make it abundantly clear that this is DC’s street and to honor demonstrators who [were] peacefully protesting on Monday evening,” he continued, referring to the protesters who were forcefully cleared by the National Guard from Lafayette Park.

But the move did not win Bowser the support of Washington’s Black Lives Matter chapter, which described it as a “performative distraction from real policy changes.”

Am I reading this wrong or is President Trump seriously threatening to send in the regular military to deal with a relatively small number of civilian criminals?

They should find a truck hauling waste from a cess poll and unload it starting in the lower right hand corner of that picture. DC, what a pit, as I recall they reelected a mayor who had been caught dealing coke, Barry was his name. Anyone who believes that a city who reelects someone like that is capable of leading themselves or demonstrating they wish to be part of society is sending the wrong message with these stunts. Lastly, this (censored) believes DC is the equal of a state, it is not. She is a caretaker, nothing more.

a relatively small number of civilian criminals?

What is a small number of criminals, ten, twenty, less more? There were enough to wound 50 secret service agents not to mention the looting and fires. What is the alternative, open up with the 50s when they storm over the white house fences? Obviously the DC caretaker mayor is not going to do anything. They are spoiling for a scene, give em one. Millions for defense, not a penny for tribute.

Now remember: Die White Fascist Pigs has that silly "c" between the "s" and the "i."

Very large number of people supposedly going into D.C. for tomorrow’s activities. You won’t catch me around there.

If the White House is under threat then all of DC is under the CIC’s authority. The President can shut down “your” streets Mayor.
