President Trump: Mayor Bowser better get her act straight,. or she won't be mayor very long, because we'll take it over with the federal government. Run it like it's supposed to be run.
President Trump: The tariffs are going to be at four trillion dollars. They're going to reduce the deficit by four trillion dollars.
President Trump: We haven't had to bring in the regular military [to DC], which we're willing to do if we have to. And after we do this, we'll go to another location, and we'll make it safe also. We're going to make our country very safe. We're going to make our cities very safe. Chicago's a mess. You have an incompetent mayor. Grossly incompetent. And we'll straighten that one out, probably next. That will be our next one after this.
President Trump: If I declare a national emergency [in DC], which this was, that ends the deadline. I keep seeing about a thirty-day deadline, of which we have twenty-two days left or something, but if I think we're in great shape, that's one thing, but if I don't, I'm gonna just say it's a national emergency, and if I have a national emergency, I can keep the troops there as long as I want.
President Trump: When we're ready, we'll go ahead and we'll straighten out Chicago, just like we did DC.
