President Donald Trump heaped praise onto Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser Saturday in a lengthy social media post, while at the same time, issuing her a “don’t go woke” warning and upping threats to other Democrat-led cities.
“Wow! Mayor Muriel Bowser of D.C. has become very popular because she worked with me and my great people in bringing CRIME down to virtually NOTHING in D.C.,” Trump wrote Monday in an online post on his social media platform Truth Social.
“Her statements and actions were positive, instead of others like [Illinois Gov. JB] Pritzker, [Maryland Gov.] Wes Moore, [California Gov. Gavin] ‘Newscum,’ and the 5% approval rated Mayor of Chicago, who spend all of their time trying to justify violent Crime, instead of working with us to completely ELIMINATE it, which we have done in Washington, D.C.”
Trump went on to declare that the nation’s capital had become a “crime-free zone” following the federal takeover of the city that has seen thousands of federal officers and National Guard members patrolling the city’s streets. The president has amped up threats to do the same in other Democrat-led cities, particularly Chicago, Illinois.
Regarding D.C., Trump claimed Bowser’s approval has “gone up” since the federal takeover, despite no recent polling having been conducted on her favorability, and credited her supposed polling boost to her cooperation with the White House. Overall approval for the D.C. federal takeover has been abysmal, with just 38% of Americans approving of the operation.
Trump went on, however, to issue Bowser a backhanded congratulations that came with a warning.
“Congratulations to Mayor Muriel Bowser, but don’t go Woke on us,” Trump wrote. “D.C. is a GIANT VICTORY that never has to end!”
