'Crime, savagery, filth, and scum': Trump flips out ahead of National Guard DC deployment

Hours before Donald Trump is expected to hold a press conference to address what he believes is a crime wave occurring in the nation's capital, he took to Truth Social to paint a portrait of a city under siege that does not match crime reports.

The president has been promoting Monday's press availability where he will reportedly state he is deploying at least 1,000 National Guard troops to militarize the streets of Washington, D.C. which led one Fox News guest to claim on Sunday, "I found it troubling, because I also practiced law in the District of Columbia, that the president of the United States would say that crime is out of control. I take exception to that. Crime is not out of control in the District of Columbia."

Undaunted, Trump wrote on Friday morning, "Washington, D.C. will be LIBERATED today! Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR. I will, MAKE OUR CAPITAL GREAT AGAIN! The days of ruthlessly killing, or hurting, innocent people, are OVER! I quickly fixed the Border (ZERO ILLEGALS in last 3 months!), D.C. is next!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT"

Trump's latest post follows a Truth Social flurry on Monday morning where, in one, he raged at the New York Times, and in another attacked the intelligence of female Democrats while boasting about the cognitive tests he has "aced" — both at a time when he is being scrutinized over his friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
