Potential Impact of Trump's Return on DC's Autonomy and Governance
TL;DR Summary
As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office, Washington D.C. faces uncertainty due to his history of threatening the city's autonomy. Trump has previously criticized D.C. as "filthy and crime-ridden" and attempted to take control of its police department. His return raises concerns about potential federal intervention in local affairs, especially given the city's lack of statehood and the possibility of a Republican-controlled Congress.
