“Many people, including myself, have worked long and hard to get it there, and we will not let it be destroyed by a Communist adherent who has no intention to, MAKE WASHINGTON GREAT AGAIN!”
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to criticize Janeese Lewis George, a Democrat endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America who is expected to win November’s mayoral election in Washington, D.C. Trump claimed she would pursue policies such as emptying prisons, making the city a sanctuary, opposing immigration enforcement, and defunding the police—actions he said would undo his administration’s work beautifying the capital and reducing crime. He warned he would not let a “communist” ruin the city, and indicated he would meet with George despite his opposition. George has said she is open to working with Trump but will not compromise the city’s autonomy or its push for statehood.
