Hundreds of National Guard troops to flood Washington DC as Trump posts images of homeless from motorcade: 'We want our Capital BACK'
The first job of a politician is to make sure the voters are safe from criminals and invading armies, that potholes are filled and drinking water is clean. President Trump gets it.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump is weighing the deployment of as many as 1,000 National Guard troops to flood the streets of Washington DC as the president threatens a federal takeover of the capital as part of a response to violent crime.

An announcement could come as soon as Monday according to one defense official and two US officials familiar with the plan.

The potential mobilization which is still under discussion and has not yet signed into order would likely draw most of the personnel from the D.C. National Guard, although final numbers remain fluid, officials said on Sunday night.

The White House declined to confirm details but signaled Trump is prepared to act.

'We won't get ahead of the President on any potential announcements,' one official told NBC News, 'but the President has been clear that all options are on the table when it comes to making D.C. safe again.'

Trump has been suggesting he would introduce a crackdown in the city for days, using his Truth Social platform to promise a major announcement on Monday about his anti-crime plan for the capital.

'It has become one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World,' Trump wrote on Sunday. 'It will soon be one of the safest!!!'

The president has likened his plans for D.C. as similar to his administration's aggressive crackdown against illegal immigration at the southern border.
