President Trump promised to clean up Washington D.C. He meant that quite literally.
A recent executive order calls for “making the District of Columbia safe and beautiful.”
“As the capital city of the greatest Nation in the history of the world, it should showcase beautiful, clean, and safe public spaces. America’s capital must be a place in which residents, commuters, and tourists feel safe at all hours, including on public transit. Its highways, boulevards, and parks should be clean, well-kept, and pleasant. Its monuments, museums, and buildings should reflect and inspire awe and appreciation for our Nation’s strength, greatness, and heritage. Our citizens deserve nothing less,” the order says.
This calls for tougher policies on crime, more policing on public transportation, and increasing “the speed and [lowering] the cost of processing concealed carry license requests in the District of Columbia.” It will also call for fast removal of graffiti and removal of homeless encampments on public parks.
