Trump Threatens Federal Takeover of D.C. Amid Rising Tensions

Mayor Muriel Bowser remains silent in response to President Trump's threats to federalize Washington D.C. and take control of the city, despite ongoing political tensions and recent high-profile crimes. While Trump has publicly floated ideas like deploying the National Guard or taking direct control, Bowser continues to maintain a cautious, non-confrontational stance, emphasizing the city's progress in reducing violent crime and avoiding escalation of the conflict. Behind the scenes, there appears to be a respectful relationship between the Trump administration and Bowser's office, with no immediate plans for drastic action.
