“I’m officially invoking section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, you know what that is, and placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control. Something’s out of control, but we’re going to put it in control very quickly, like we did on the southern border.”

“I’m deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order and public safety in Washington, DC, and they’re going to be allowed to do their job properly.”

“Then I’m going to look at New York, in a little while. Let’s do this. Let’s do this together. Let’s see. It’s going to go pretty quickly, and if we need to, we’re going to do the same thing in Chicago, which is a disaster.”

“Caravans of mass youth are rampaging through city streets, I saw violent youths fight back against law enforcement last night. These people love to spit in the face of the police and scream at officers an inch away from their faces. You tell them: you spit and we hit. And they can hit real hard.”

“You’re going to have a lot of essentially military — and we will bring in the military if it’s needed, by the way. We’re going to have National Guard, but (Defense Secretary) Pete Hegseth will tell you about that, we will bring in the military, if needed… I don’t think we’ll need it, I think we’ve got so many great people, including the people that are in the police department.”
