Trump Threatens to Declare New National Emergency in Late-Night Meltdown

Source: daily beast


CRIME CON
The president is unhappy that Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has cut ties with ICE.

Leigh Kimmins Updated Sep. 15 2025 7:13AM EDT

.......................

Writing on Truth Social at around 1 a.m. Monday, Trump, 79, wrote that the National Guard and ICE patrolling the streets of the capital had “been a beautiful thing to watch.”

He then suggested that Bowser had wilted in the face of political pressure from the left.

“But, now, under pressure from the Radical Left Democrats, Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has presided over this violent criminal takeover of our Capital for years, has informed the Federal Government that the Metropolitan Police Department will no longer cooperate with ICE in removing and relocating dangerous illegal aliens,” he wrote.

He then threatened to declare a national emergency, saying, “If I allowed this to happen, CRIME would come roaring back. To the people and businesses of Washington, D.C., DON’T WORRY, I AM WITH YOU, AND WON’T ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. I’ll call a National Emergency, and Federalize, if necessary!!!”

Most idiots feel a victory when they get the last word (and it's the simplest way to get them to shut up for one blessed moment) , but Mr. trump doesn't seem satisfied with anything other than cruelty for the sake of ratings.
