Trump Takes Executive Action to Make D.C. 'Safe and Beautiful'
2025-03-28
[Breitbart] President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order aimed at safeguarding and beautifying the nation’s capital.

Trump’s order establishes the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force, which is directed to carry out a number of different actions on the safety front, ranging from enforcement of laws to helping with officer recruitment for the city’s police department.

Trump’s order establishes a program to spruce up the city, too. This effort includes “restoring and beautifying Federal buildings, monuments, statues, memorials, parks, and roadways, removing graffiti from commonly visited areas, and ensuring the cleanliness of public spaces and parks.”

Additionally, the National Park Service is directed to remove graffiti and clear out homeless encampments that are on federal lands in the city.

#5  Oh D.C. Fond memories. Battered taxis with the smell of a fried cat and a Somali driver who wouldn't find Dupont Circle if he were driving around it. Aggressive homeless people in front of the White House, power walks to the nearest Metro Station (if you stopped you'd be approached by drug dealers or questionable females who needed a shower as dearly as the next dose of whatever was available for less than ten dollars).

#4  Biden let the city go. A couple years ago, was in the city for a work function and got off the Metro, took the escalator to ground level and was in the middle of a houseless camp. Was dark out and sketchy. One of the bums started following me down the block. Less than ideal.
