Former U.S. President Donald Trump has pledged to remove homeless people from Washington, D.C., drawing sharp criticism from the city’s mayor. Speaking on Sunday, Trump said, “We’ll give you a place to stay, but far from the capital. Criminals will be sent to prison, where they belong. This will happen very quickly.” Trump argued the move was part of his crime-fighting plan. However, the mayor countered that crime rates are not currently rising. Despite this, preparations are underway to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops in the city. Sharing images of tents and garbage, Trump wrote, “No gentlemanly posturing— we want our capital back. Thank you for your attention!” The mayor firmly opposed his decision.
