President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday to once again tease a White House press conference that he’s promised will “stop violent crime.”

On Sunday, the president said his press conference on crime in Washington, D.C., will occur at the White House, and he unveiled some vague plans, including shipping the homeless out of D.C.

“We’re having a News Conference tomorrow in the White House. I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before. The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital,” he wrote.

Included in the post were images of what appear to be homeless encampments in the city.

Trump told criminals they are allowed to stay and won’t be subjected to the same treatment.

“The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong. It’s all going to happen very fast, just like the Border. We went from millions pouring in, to ZERO in the last few months. This will be easier — Be prepared! There will be no ‘MR. NICE GUY.’ We want our Capital BACK. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” the president wrote.

According to an MPD’s tracker, crimes like robberies, homicides, and assaults have all seen a drop compared to 2024.

In a Saturday post to Truth Social, Trump promised his press conference would “essentially, stop violent crime in Washington, D.C.” He also called D.C. “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the World.”

Trump’s post followed him ordering increased police presence on D.C. streets as part of a seven-day crackdown on crime that could be extended. The president threatened earlier in the week that there could be a federal takeover of D.C.
