Crime Crackdown
On Monday, Trump announced that he would activate about 800 National Guard soldiers and handle the metropolitan police department to address the crime in Washington. The step came after Trump already promoted the federal law enforcement attendance in the country’s capital on Saturday.
“I am deploying the National Guard to help re -establish laws, orders and public security in Washington, DC,” Trump told reporters at a press conference on Monday. “And they are going to allow their work to be done properly.”

Trump initially suggested to make the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington federal and sent the National Guard soldiers to address the crime in August 6 in response to the attack of a former government’s efficiency department (DOGE).
Although a temporary federal acquisition of the Metropolitan Police Department has been warned for emergency situations, Washington officials on Friday filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s move.
Attorney General Brian Shwalab of Washington wrote in Friday’s X post, “The administration is misusing its temporary, limited rights under the law by announcing an acquisition of MPD. “This is the most serious threat to the rule of the house. DC has ever encountered, and we are fighting to stop it.”
Smithsonian Review
The White House sent a letter to Smithsonian on Tuesday, announcing that it would review its museums and perform till the 250th birthday of the United States in 2025.
Trump told reporters on Thursday, “We want the museum to treat our country properly.” “We want their museums to talk in a fair way about the history of our country, not in a way or racist, which is not many of them, not all of them, but many of them.”
Trump said, “Our museums have the responsibility of representing what happened in our country in years. Good and bad,” Trump said. “But what happened in an accurate way in years.”
