He also issued a warning to the city's homeless population.
The homeless have to leave now. We'll give you places to stay, but LAGR from capital”, he wrote on Fifth Social.
Trump's remarks come as he stepped up his rhetoric regarding fighting crime in District in recent days, after a former member of the Government Efficiency Department was attacked in an attempt to steal car, foreign media wrote.
Everything will happen very soon”, he added.
Last month, Trump signed an executive order facilitating the city's removal of homeless persons, prompting harsh reactions from homeless lawyers.
His position on social networks is the last sign that he seeks to advance this effort, especially in Washington.
But his comments are contrary to data from the Department of Justice showing that violent crime in the city in 2024 was at the lowest level in 30 years, and that the killings, robberies, and car robbery have dropped.
Trump also reiterated in his post that he plans to hold a press meeting at the White House on Monday about crime in D.
