  • President Donald Trump on Wednesday threw his support behind congressional efforts for a federal takeover of the nation's capital, saying he approves putting the District of Columbia back under direct federal control.

In a recent statement, former President Donald Trump expressed support for a Republican-led initiative to have the federal government take control of Washington, D.C., arguing that the city has been mismanaged by local leaders. This comes in the context of ongoing debates about crime rates and governance in the nation's capital. Trump's comments align with a broader GOP push to oversee D.C.'s affairs more directly, citing issues like rising crime, educational failures, and economic mismanagement. Critics of this move argue it undermines local democracy and could be seen as an overreach of federal power. The proposal has sparked significant controversy, with discussions focusing on the implications for D.C.'s limited home rule status and the potential for increased federal intervention in local governance.
