In a recent interview, President Donald Trump discussed the possibility of taking over the government of Washington, DC. During a conversation about the Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles visiting the White House, Trump expressed admiration for the RFK Stadium site and pondered the idea of assuming control of the city.
Trump's comments come amidst ongoing discussions about the future of RFK Stadium and the potential for a rebuilt stadium at the site. He mentioned that his administration is exploring the possibility of federal intervention in the governance of DC, which has operated under Home Rule since 1973.
Additionally, Trump shared insights from a meeting with then-President Joe Biden after the November election. According to Trump, Biden attributed his election loss to former President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, rather than Vice President Kamala Harris. These claims have not been independently verified by CNN.
Trump also praised former President Richard Nixon, describing him as 'very smart' despite his resignation amid the Watergate scandal. Trump noted that Nixon's failure to fight back against his adversaries was a regrettable decision that haunted him until his death.
