President Donald Trump called on Washington, D. C., Mayor Muriel Bowser to clear up homeless camps in the District as city officials locate working with the Trump presidency.
Trump railed against D. C. over its murder while on the campaign road and promised to “beautify it”. He has since threatened to take control of the federal area away from the local authorities.
The president said in a post on Truth Social on Wednesday that the mayor’s office “must clear up all of the unpleasant homeless encampments in the City”, or his administration does have to do so, apparently hinting at possible national action in the town’s affairs.
” We have notified the Mayor of Washington, D. C., that she must clear up all of the unpleasant homeless camps in the City, especially including the people outside of the State Department, and near the White House. If she is not worthy of doing so, we will be forced to do it for her”! Trump said.
” Washington, D. C. had be CLEAN and SAFE! We want to be happy of our Great Capital afterwards. Bless you Mayor Bowser for your work on behalf of the Citizens of our Country. Maybe you will be prosperous”! Trump added.
Trump’s connection with the D. C. president has been drastically different from that during his first name when his presidency clashed with the local government regularly.
One important occasion was when the town renamed piece of 16th Street near the White House as” Black Lives Matter Plaza” in June 2020. The BLM Plaza painting has been a goal of Republicans since its founding, and following Congressional Republicans ‘ calls to replace it, Bowser announced that there would be adjustments.
” We have much considered Black Lives Matter Plaza’s development and the square may be part of D. C.’s America 250 painting initiative, where we will encourage students and artists to create new murals across all eight wards”, Bowser said Tuesday.
BOWSER SIGNALS END OF BLM PLAZA AFTER GOP PUSH TO AXE FUNDING
While the D. C. government and Trump have differences, both have been unified in their push to return workers to the office.
The federal government’s return-to-work orders have caused the D. C. Metro’s ridership to boom to near pre-pandemic levels for weekday travel.
