Donald Trump on Saturday claimed credit for improving crime numbers in one of the cities he is targeting with a federal takeover.
The president took to Truth Social over the weekend to weigh in on the situation in Memphis, TN.
"The only reason crime is somewhat down in Memphis is because the FBI, and others in the Federal Government, at my direction, have been working there for 5 months - on the absolutely terrible Crime numbers," Trump claimed. "Likewise, in Chicago and Los Angeles!"
"But," Trump noted, "the real work by us has barely begun."
"That happens after we make the official announcement that WE’RE COMING, and when we do that, as we did in now VERY SAFE WASHINGTON, D.C., the no crime 'miracle' begins," he added. "ONLY I CAN SAVE THEM!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT"
