RSMS Hour 1 | Trump Calls it Liberation Day as D.C. Police Under Federal Control

from Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast · host Urban One

President Donald Trump declared “Liberation Day” in Washington, D.C., issuing a public safety emergency, taking temporary federal control of the city’s police force, and deploying 800 National Guard troops—despite falling violent crime rates. Critics, as well as the mayor of Washington D.C., blasted the action as politically motivated overreach, citing the city's current downward crime trend and potential encroachment on local democracy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
