Former U.S. President Donald Trump has told Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser to clear out homeless encampments in the city. He specifically mentioned those near the White House and the State Department.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he wants the nation’s capital to be clean and safe again. He warned that if the mayor does not take action, others will step in to do it for her.
“We have notified the Mayor of Washington, D.C., that she must clean up all of the unsightly homeless encampments in the City, specifically including the ones outside of the State Department, and near the White House,” Trump wrote.
He added, “If she is not capable of doing so, we will be forced to do it for her! Washington, D.C. must become CLEAN and SAFE! We want to be proud of our Great Capital again.”
Trump also thanked Bowser for her efforts and expressed hope that she would be successful in addressing the issue.
