India, July 9 -- Donald Trump floated the idea of the federal takeover of Washington, DC, to tackle the city's rapidly growing crime, can also do the same with New York City. "We have tremendous power at the White House to run places when we have to," he said during a cabinet meeting.

"We could run DC. I mean, we're looking at DC. We don't want crime in D.C. We want the city to run well," Trump added. "We're thinking about doing it, to be honest with you. We want a capital that's run flawlessly."

However, the POTUS didn't provide much details about the move but noted that his current chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is "working very closely" with DC Mayor Muriel Bowser.
