Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser said President Donald Trump’s insistence that the city needs to clean up homeless encampments was not an order.
Trump told Bowser that she must clean up homeless encampments outside of the State Department and near the White House or they would be “forced to do it for her” in a Wednesday afternoon Truth Social post.
“If she is not capable of doing so, we will be forced to do it for her! Washington, D.C. must become CLEAN and SAFE! We want to be proud of our Great Capital again. Thank you Mayor Bowser for your efforts on behalf of the Citizens of our Country,” he said. “Hopefully you will be successful!”
When asked about Trump’s pointed notification on Thursday, Bowser demurred.
