Trump wants to take over DC. Why this Must not Happen.

Trump first thought of a takeover of DC while cowering in the White House bunker during Black Lives Matter protests. He just brought that up again.

Trump said Wednesday that city leaders are not doing enough to reduce crime, clean up graffiti, and remove homeless encampments according to Jeff Bezos's Washington Post. If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.

Trump intends to extend the Whitehouse permitter to miles instead of feet. He would take over the Metropolitan Police and order them to checkpoints so only a chosen few would be allowed in or to leave. He would make a military fortress out of the White House and Congress so that he could rule unimpeded and terrorize citizens outside of the walls.

Congress would first have to repeal the Wahington DC Home Rule Act in response to an emergency.

However homeless encampments and graffiti are not cause to declare a state of emergency.

Violent protests could be. That is why protests must be kept peaceful. We can't give Trump a legitimate reason to crush democracy.
