The White House

You will see them flowing into the streets of Washington in the coming weeks.

In Los Angeles, we did the same thing, working with the California National Guard, working with ICE officers.

They will be strong, they will be tough, and they will stand with their law enforcement partners.

I’m going to look at New York in a little while, to see if we need to do this

We’ll be getting rid of the slums where [criminals] live

Do you want to live in places like that?

The murder rate in Washington is higher than that of Bogotá, Colombia and Mexico City

You spit, and we hit

It’s become a city of complete and total lawlessness

This is liberation day in Washington, DC

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

As President of the United States, I have the obligation to ensure the safety and security of all Americans.

I will, MAKE OUR CAPITAL GREAT AGAIN! The days of ruthlessly killing, or hurting, innocent people, are OVER!

Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR.

Washington would be cleaned up 'very quick.'

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

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

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

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.

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