President Trump Puts D.C.’s Socialist Mayoral Frontrunner on Notice: ‘I’m Allowed to Do That!’

Uncategorized

President Trump just put Washington, D.C.’s likely next mayor on notice.

Asked Monday whether he would federalize the nation’s capital if the incoming administration starts undoing his public-safety policies, President Trump did not hesitate.

“Would I federalize D.C.? I’m allowed to do that!” he said from the Oval Office.

Then he turned directly to Democratic mayoral nominee Janeese Lewis George.

“She’s a communist!” President Trump said.

Watch the remarkable exchange:

The warning came after President Trump signed an executive order establishing the first Presidential Military Spouse Commission. Reporters questioned him at length after the Oval Office ceremony.

Lewis George is not mayor yet. She won Washington’s Democratic primary in June and is heavily favored in the November general election, but voters will not choose the next mayor until November 3.

She is a self-described democratic socialist and a member of the D.C. Council.

The Associated Press reported after Lewis George’s primary victory that she campaigned on taking a harder line against federal intervention in the District. She has also vowed to reverse a police order allowing local officers to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

At the same time, Lewis George said she would work with anyone—including President Trump—when she believes it serves D.C. residents.

Lewis George defeated former council member Kenyan McDuffie in the Democratic primary after running on an expansive left-wing agenda that included subsidized child care, more housing assistance, and shifting public-safety resources toward community programs.

She also promised not to “comply in advance” when the White House pressures the District, setting up a very different relationship from outgoing Mayor Muriel Bowser’s more pragmatic approach.

That promise may be tested quickly if Lewis George wins in November.

President Trump has repeatedly credited his administration’s federal law-enforcement surge with restoring order in the capital.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia said in January that homicides had dropped 60%, robberies 49%, carjackings 68%, and overall crime 32% compared with the same point in 2024. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro credited added federal agents, expanded resources, and a tougher focus on violent offenders and criminal networks.

Pirro said the surge began in August 2025 and paired local police with federal agencies under President Trump’s Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful initiative.

Her office reported that prosecutors had increased federal cases, targeted repeat violent offenders, and worked with agencies including the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and U.S. Marshals Service.

The January comparison covered the period after the federal operation began, not a final annual accounting. It nevertheless became the administration’s central evidence that sustained federal pressure could change conditions in the capital.

The newest local numbers are more mixed, but they still show major improvements in several crimes.

Metropolitan Police Department data through July 20 showed homicides down 37%, robberies down 18%, motor-vehicle theft down 53%, and thefts from vehicles down 37% from the same period in 2025. Total violent crime was up 1%, however, while assaults with a dangerous weapon were up 43%, making the current picture better in several major categories without being uniformly improved.

The department cautions that its year-to-date figures are preliminary and can change when cases are reclassified, amended, or determined to be unfounded.

Those numbers help explain why the coming fight will be about more than rhetoric. President Trump sees the federal operation as a model that produced real gains.

Lewis George has promised greater resistance to Washington’s federal overseers.

Monday’s answer was President Trump’s clearest warning yet that he is prepared to use the capital’s unusual legal structure if those policies collide.

The figures are preliminary and can change as cases are reclassified, but they show why neither side can reduce the argument to one simple statistic.

But “federalize D.C.” can describe more than one action, and the distinction matters.

The White House invoked Section 740 of the Home Rule Act in August 2025. That provision allowed President Trump to require the mayor to make the Metropolitan Police Department’s services available for federal purposes during an emergency.

The order said emergency conditions threatened residents, visitors, federal workers, federal buildings, national monuments, and the orderly operation of the federal government.

President Trump delegated operational authority to the attorney general and ordered regular updates on whether the emergency conditions continued. The administration also deployed the D.C. National Guard and brought multiple federal law-enforcement agencies into the capital.

Section 740 requires notice to Congress and does not automatically hand the White House every function of city government. Its clearest direct power is access to the services of the Metropolitan Police Department for federal purposes during qualifying emergency conditions.

That authority is not the same as permanently abolishing D.C.’s elected government.

The Congressional Research Service explains that Washington operates under limited home rule granted by Congress. Congress retained ultimate legislative authority over the District and can review or block local laws.

Under the 1973 Home Rule Act, D.C. residents elect a mayor and a 13-member council, and those local officials manage most municipal affairs.

But Congress expressly reserved the right to exercise its constitutional authority as the District’s legislature. It also reviews most D.C. laws before they take effect and controls major parts of the city’s budget through the federal appropriations process.

A complete, lasting federal takeover of D.C.’s government would therefore require congressional action. The president’s emergency authority over the police is narrower, even though it gives the White House leverage unavailable in any ordinary American city.

President Trump broadened the warning moments later, arguing that radical-left ideology has already damaged cities around the country.

Washington voters now face a stark choice.

Lewis George is offering a more confrontational city government that would push back against President Trump’s federal agenda.

President Trump is telling her—before the general election is even over—that he will not sit quietly if she dismantles what his administration built.

And unlike his battles with governors and mayors elsewhere, the Constitution gives the federal government exceptional power over the nation’s capital.

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
