Democrats are furious and accusing the president of overreach.
“This is dictator-level stuff,” Democrats on the House Oversight Committee posted on X. “Deploying the military on DC’s streets only creates fear and chaos. Donald Trump will be held accountable for this brazen power grab.”
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-K.Y.) plans to hold a hearing with Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D), Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D) and D.C.’s Attorney General Brian Schwalb (D) in September to discuss Monday’s actions.
In a Monday press conference, Bowser called Trump’s actions “unsettling and unprecedented.”

“””Oh my, democrats are angry that Trump is trying to do something about crime. “””
You had me at..Oh my, democrats are angry that Trump...
they shoud’ve seen this coming when he took over the Kennedy Center....now he’s gonna clean up DC, as well!
Downtown DC is a pvp server at night.
I guess President Trump being anti-criminal element is very threatening to all of the DIMocRAT criminals. LOL!
The visuals will give the media much to work with but this is probably intended to be a showcase for Trump to demonstrate that modern city problems are indeed fixable and this could be not only a success for DC, but a breakthrough demonstration to big city voters of what more conservative leadership can do in their own city, and a demonstration to the nation that the old ways did work and can still work if brought back.
The main efforts will show action on the homeless and on big city black crime, two things that the left created in the last 55 years and gave the impression were unfixable.
DC for bidAn's inauguration...
Indeed.
Donald Trump is doing more to combat crime than the demonrats ever did.
Send in the troops.
Then Partition “DC” between MD and VA.
Make areas like Georgetown parts of states.
Then clear out ALL residences outward from the Mall Making “THE DC” a non residential Federal area. ONLY the president and family live IN DC.
What’s ‘dictator’ about something the law enables the President to do?
“Then clear out ALL residences outward from the Mall Making “THE DC” a non residential Federal area. ONLY the president and family live IN DC.”
They can use the “other needful buildings” clause in the Constitution, and there is no state legislature to get permission from.
PVP servers are dead...
Yeah, dim scum love lawlessness. It takes them one step closer to being able to declare martial law and put us all in cages. You wanna see a takeover of law enforcement? Just give America back to the dims. And say goodbye to all your freedoms.
You think this is meltdown? Wait until the President forces an examination of black on black crime.
DC should be the MOST SAFE area of the country.
Anybody should be able to walk alone 24/7 with 0 fear.
Clear out all residences. White house, embassies, consulates, hotels, ok. But No residences.
Just the Smithsonian has SO much in storage that could easily occupy the majority of any emptied buildings.
The dims are all limo liberals. They never stray far from the Capital building or their upscale apartments. They have drivers and staff. Regular people who have to live in DC are exposed to obama’s son’s crimes.
It’s not dictatorial for the president to enforce the laws.
They don’t believe crime is bad. Every single newscast last night led with the line that crime is at a 25-year low in DC.
