And get that city under control by the federal government. And DC too.
Trump says he's 'looking into' federal takeover of NY, & DC. The president made the comments during a meeting of his Cabinet at the White House when he was asked about New York City's upcoming mayoral election.
We're not going to have -- if a communist gets elected to run New York, it can never be the same. But we have tremendous power at the White House to run places when we have to," Trump said.
We could run D.C. We're looking at D.C. We don't want crime in D.C. We want the city to run well," he said. He said his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, was working with Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser.
"We would run it so good, it would be run so proper, we'd get the best person to run it," Trump said about Washington on Tuesday. "And we know the crime would be down to a minimum, would be much less. And, you know, we're thinking about doing it, to be honest with you."
"We want a capital that's run flawlessly, and it wouldn't be hard for us to do it. And we've had a good relationship with the mayor and we're testing it to see if it works," he said.
