Do you want to live in places like that?

We're not going to lose our cities over this. This will go further. We're starting very strongly with D.C., and we're going to clean it up real quick.

Other cities are hopefully watching this … and maybe they’ll self-clean up and maybe they’ll self-do this and get rid of the cashless bail thing and all the things that caused the problem.

We will deploy officers across the district with an overwhelming presence, and you will have more police. And you will be so happy.

We will bring in the military if it’s needed, by the way.

We’re going to restore the city back to the gleaming capital that everybody wants it to be.

This is Liberation Day in DC, and we're going to take our capital back.

We have other cities also that are bad. Very bad. You look at Chicago, how bad it is. You look at Los Angeles, how bad it is.

This is a Biden prosecution. It’s election interference at a level that nobody in this country has ever seen before.

Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control. Local 'youths' and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be…

Washington would be cleaned up 'very quick.'

I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before.

If our capital is dirty our whole country is dirty, and they don’t respect us.

Washington, D.C. will be LIBERATED today! Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR. I will, MAKE OUR CAPITAL GREAT AGAIN!

We’re just going to see what happens. We’re going to have tremendous success with what we’re doing.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

We’ll see what happens.

Washington, D.C., must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans and, importantly, for the World to see.
