President Donald Trump traveled to Washington, D.C., on Aug. 21 to meet with National Guard troops and federal law-enforcement personnel involved in the administration’s “Making D.C. Safe and Clean Again” initiative. Speaking to what he described as several hundred officers and soldiers, Trump said the campaign had produced “incredible results,” calling the capital “a different place” that would become “the best in the world.” He added that he had “never received so many phone calls” from residents expressing gratitude for improvements in public safety.
