US President Donald Trump said he was trying to fight crime in Washington DC but had been branded a 'dictator' by opponents for his efforts, during an event at Kennedy Centre in Washington DC on Wednesday.#&34;Already, they're saying, he's a dictator. The place is going to hell and we've got to stop it. So instead of saying he's a dictator, they should say we're going to join him and make Washington safe. But they say he's a dictator. And then they end up getting mugged, and, you know, but the stats are very bad,#&34; he claimed.Earlier this week, Trump announced that DC policing would be taken under direct federal control, and that he could deploy the National Guard under his latest crime crackdown. The local authorities claim that violent crime is at an all-time low.Credit: The White House
