I spent like half of COVID in DC in 2020... [View all]
I was working in Georgetown for my former employer, arrived in January expecting a 30 day rental and ended up staying in town for the better part of a year...
Our company has lots of business all over the country and I didn't think DC was much different than LA, Miami, Chicago or for that matter... Richmond or Atlanta.
For Trump this is clearly a flex... an expression of power for power sake. And let's not forget... it's a not too subtle dog whistle... what's next? Memphis? LA is already in the crosshairs.
And to note... I didn't seek out the worst parts of DC to make my opinion... there may be scary spots, I just didn't see them.
