Imagine a sitting POTUS's desire for a Federal takeover of a city? Yours could be next be it NYC, LA, Detroit, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, etc. Nothing is never enough for TACO Don. Just like his failure as a businessman, what disaster would look like with him at the helm. An idle threat? You be the judge.President Donald Trump said Tuesday hes weighing a federal takeover of Washington, D.C., spouting bogus claims about rampant crime in the nations capital, and hinted he could pursue the same with New York City.
Trump, who first floated the idea in February, brought up the takeover in the Oval Office when a reporter asked him who he thinks Republicans should support in the upcoming New York mayoral race. Trump said hes not getting involved but went on to slam Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani as a disaster and communist who would be bad for the city.
We have tremendous power at the White House to run places when we have to, Trump then said before disclosing hes already testing a plan to take over Washington.

(17,973 posts)Both his handlers and a lot of his sycophants want this.
They've been laying the groundwork for many decades.
Here's hoping they've jumped the starting gun. So to speak.

(4,116 posts)everything will run better. ...or that there's even a problem. Besides the obvious illegality of it.
Like food prices would come down, like the Ukraine war would end on day one, like all the immigrant rapists and murders that he can't even find so he has to go after make-up artists.
I know no one is falling for it here, but this alone should invoke the 25th ammendment. What is wrong with Republicans?
