All hail King Trump!
All he does is issue royal edicts and tell lies!
What state of emergency? As I write this Sunday afternoon there is growing worries that Trump is going to issue a state of emergency in Washington DC, call in the National Guard and round up the homeless and ship them off to concentration camps.
Wow, that is some heavy sh*t! What do you have to prove it? Well for one, Trump's own statements!

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he may take control of the police force in Washington and dispatch National Guard troops to the city after a young staff member of his administration was assaulted over the weekend.
Trump told reporters that the city is unsafe, though violent crime last year fell 35 percent from 2023 and is at a 30-year-low, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia reported in January.
The president said his administration was on a mission to “make it the best run place in the country” and said White House lawyers were studying the possibility of ending home rule, which enables district residents to elect their local officials
“We want to have a great, safe capital,” he told reporters. “And we’re gonna have it. And that includes cleanliness and it includes other things.”
So he lies about crime in order to justify declaring a state of emergency so he can bring in the troops?

Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington, D.C. broke her silence Sunday in response to President Trump's threats to take federal control of the nation's capital. Bowser defended the District's control of its police department, expressed concern over the deployment of the D.C. National Guard, and celebrated a two-year drop in violent crime countering White House claims of out-of-control violence.
Last week, Trump directed federal law enforcement agencies — including the U.S. Park Police, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the U.S. Marshals Service, among others — to increase their presence in D.C. after a former White House staffer was assaulted in an attempted carjacking. A White House official, not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, confirmed nearly 450 federal officers were deployed in the District Saturday night.
Why?
That is a simple question but a very important one especially in light of Trump saying he may send in federal troops! The British newspaper
Independent reports that,
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday morning to announce a press conference on Monday that he claimed would end violent crime in the nation’s capital.
“On Monday a Press Conference will be held at the White House which will, essentially, stop violent crime in Washington, D.C.” said Trump. “It has become one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World. It will soon be one of the safest!!!”
This comes after a Thursday announcement from the White House that it will utilize federal law enforcement on the streets of Washington. Trump said the ramp-up of security would last for seven days, “with the option to extend as needed.” On Wednesday, Trump threatened to take charge of the city’s police force following an attempted hijacking in which an administration staffer was injured.
He is using that attack to claim that crime is out of hand in Washington DC, which will he then use to claim marshal law?
That all ties in with his crack down on homelessness... he sees homeless people on his way to the golf course... how horrible to see "those" people!
President demands unhoused residents leave US capital or face eviction and vowed to use officers to make arrests

In a social media post on Sunday, Donald Trump demands homeless residents of Washington DC leave the country’s capital or face eviction, and again promised to use federal officers to jail criminals, even though violent crime in the city was at a 30-year low when he took office in January.
“The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform Sunday morning, shortly after being driven from the White House to his golf club in Virginia. “We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital.”
From what I could gather Trump plays one or two rounds of golf during the week at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia. The article also says,
The post was illustrated with four photographs, all apparently taken from the president’s motorcade along the route from the White House to his golf course. Two of the images showed a total of 10 tents pitched on the grass along a highway on-ramp just over a mile from the White House. The third image showed a single person sleeping on the steps of the American Institute of Pharmacy Building on Constitution Avenue. The fourth image showed the line of vehicles that whisk Trump to his golf course passing a small amount of roadside litter on the E Street Expressway, near the Kennedy Center.
You have to wonder how much time does Trump actually work? Trump also keeps his golf trips off of his official White House schedule to hide
how much time he spends golfing! And in between golfing trip he is working on a power grab for Washington DC...
Trump told reporters on Wednesday that White House lawyers were “already studying” the possibility of legislation to overturn the law granting the Washington DC self-rule and imposing direct federal control of the capital.
Long live the King! Long live King Donald!
He has sent in tons of federal agents that have been pulled in from other jobs!

Hundreds of federal officers took to the streets of Washington D.C. on Saturday night, the second day of President Donald Trump's plan to drive down violent crime in the country's capital.
These are the agencies involved according to Fox 5
The deployments included officers from nearly 20 departments:
- Metro Transit Police Department (MTPD)
- Amtrak Police Department (APD)
- United States Capitol Police (USCP)
- Metro Police Department (MPD)
- Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)
- Federal Protective Service (FPS)
- Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO)
- Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
- Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
- Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF)
- United States Marshals Service (USMS)
- United States Attorney’s Office - District of Columbia (DDC)
- Department of Interior (DOI)
- Pre-Trial Services Agency (PSA)
- Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA)
- United States Secret Service (USSS)
- United States Secret Service Uniform Division (USSS UD)
- Federal Bureau of Investigation Police
- United States Marshal Service
I would like to point out that many of ICE related like ERO which is part of ICE and all those agents are either on OT or have been pulled off of important investigations that they have been doing so they could be at Trump's beck and call.
He is holding a press conference at 10:00 AM
UPDATE: 11:30AM
Trump places DC police under federal control, deploys National Guard
The president called it “liberation day” for the nation’s capital.

President Donald Trump said Monday he would place the Washington, D.C., police department under federal control and deploy the National Guard, an escalation of federal power in his campaign to tighten control over the nation’s deep-blue capital city.
“This is liberation day in D.C. and we’re going to take our capital back,” Trump said.
Although crime in Washington hit a 30-year low last year, the president in recent days has seized on violence against a Trump administration staffer to cast the city as dangerous, pledging earlier Monday that “Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR.”
All hail the lord and king! The Courthouse News Service says,
Under the 1973 D.C. Home Rule Act, the federal law that allows the capital city some self-governance, the president has the authority to take control of the municipal police department if “special conditions of an emergency nature exist.” Under the law, the White House can only take over MPD for a maximum of 30 days if it notifies Congress.
Meanwhile, the D.C. National Guard and its roughly 3,400 members are under the president’s direct control, unlike other branches of the military reserve force, which are commanded by state governors.
The question remains... what emergency? Once again...
Though the Trump administration and Republicans have slammed D.C.’s government for its approach to crime, statistics published in January by the U.S. attorney’s office in the capital show that violent crime rates in D.C. were down 35% from 2023 figures — the lowest rate in more than 30 years.
