President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Washington, D.C. officials after yet another horrific attack exposed the city’s rampant crime wave. In a blistering Truth Social post, Trump declared that if local leaders fail to restore order, he will “take Federal control of the City” and crack down on the unchecked violence plaguing the nation’s capital.
“Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control,” Trump stated. *”Local ‘youths’ and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released. They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it’s going to happen now!”*
The President’s warning comes after Edward Coristine, a member of the DOGE team known as “Big Balls,” was brutally beaten by eight black teens while defending a woman from assault. This shocking incident is just the latest example of how soft-on-crime policies—championed by Democrats—have turned D.C. into a playground for violent criminals.
Despite left-wing outlets like WUSA9 claiming that crime has “dropped” in 2025, the reality on the streets tells a different story. Thanks to lenient juvenile laws, minors as young as 14 are terrorizing citizens with near impunity.
A few days ago, a gang of about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her car at night in DC.
A @Doge team member saw what was happening, ran to defend her and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but he saved her.

“Juveniles are now disproportionately involved in carjackings and robbery,” reports reveal. In a desperate attempt to curb the chaos, D.C. enacted a curfew, but it’s done little to stop the bloodshed. DC Metro Police confirm that minors under 18 are responsible for nearly 50% of carjackings—a staggering statistic that proves liberal policies are failing.
While weak-kneed Democrats coddle criminals, President Trump is ready to take decisive action. His plan includes:
Prosecuting violent minors as adults
Ending catch-and-release policies
Federalizing D.C. if local leaders refuse to act
“The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these ‘minors’ as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14,” Trump declared. “If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City.”
The liberal media continues to downplay the crisis, but Americans are fed up. With Trump at the helm, real justice may finally be coming to D.C.
