President Donald Trump stood in the White House press briefing room Monday morning, declaring it “Liberation Day in D.C.” and announcing that he was taking over Washington, D.C.’s police force. Invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, a rarely used provision of federal law, Trump said he was placing the Metropolitan Police Department under direct White House control and deploying the D.C. National Guard into city streets.

    Yeah, but this is actually more disqualifying than the Epstein files. This isn’t a distraction; this is the main event.

      I think the Epstein files that no doubt clearly document tRump having sex with children is one of a very very very very few divisive issues amongst the almost-have-no-ethics MAGA base. I think it’s the most threatening thing to Chump this year. I think he knows this and is trying to distract people from the Epstein files any way he can. There will be another DoC. Idk if there will be another Epstein files
