President Trump is holding a press conference this morning, where he is expected to make a major announcement on his plans to end violent crime and homelessness in Washington, DC.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump announced over the weekend that he will hold a press conference this morning, and it will “essentially, stop violent crime in Washington, D.C.”
”It has become one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World. It will soon be one of the safest!!!” the President said.

This comes after Department of Government Efficiency engineer Edward Coristine, AKA “Big Balls,” was severely beaten by eight black teens after he stopped to defend a woman who was being assaulted by the gang.
Following the incident, President Trump threatened to federalize the city.
“If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run,” he said on Tuesday.
Trump has since mobilized hundreds of federal agents across multiple agencies to assist local police in patrolling the streets.
The President is expected to begin his press conference in the White House briefing room at 10 am ET.
The White House provided reporters with handouts, showcasing the criminals removed from the streets of DC this weekend and a message from the President.
