Trump pledges Washington DC liberation, promising to eliminate crime and restore safety in the US capital today.

WASHINGTON DC: US President Donald Trump has pledged to “liberate” Washington DC, claiming the capital will see sweeping changes starting today. The promise comes amid his continued focus on crime and border security.

On Monday, Trump posted on Truth Social: “Washington, D.C. will be LIBERATED today! Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR. I will, MAKE OUR CAPITAL GREAT AGAIN! The days of ruthlessly killing, or hurting, innocent people, are OVER! I quickly fixed the Border (ZERO ILLEGALS in last 3 months!), D.C. is next!!!”

The president’s remarks come after months of his administration’s emphasis on immigration enforcement, with Trump claiming zero illegal entries in the past three months. He now says he will turn his attention to tackling crime in the US capital.

Washington DC, like many American cities, has faced challenges with violent crime, homelessness, and urban decay, issues that have become political talking points for both major parties. Trump’s vow suggests an aggressive policy push aimed at reversing these trends.

However, the statement has also drawn criticism from opponents who say the language is inflammatory and risks deepening divisions. They argue that addressing urban problems requires investment in communities, not just tough rhetoric.

Supporters, on the other hand, see this as a continuation of Trump’s “law and order” agenda, with promises to restore safety and pride in the nation’s capital.

No further details have been provided on what measures will be taken today, but the president’s message signals that Washington DC could soon become the new focus of his administration’s domestic policies.
