Trump still wants the FBI to be a thing?
Okay, I get what he's saying: Too often the bureaucrats who wrecked the cities flee for the suburbs or other nice locations when they start thinking about a move to a new building. The FBI is moving out of the Hoover Building (and out of DC) into the city of Greenbelt, Maryland. Trump is saying (just in a very Trump way) that the FBI should be forced to live in the Swamp they've helped make, and that their new building should be an icon of renewed beauty that will give them the motivation to drain said Swamp.
But here's where a lot of people are confused:
Trump believes the FBI, as an institution, can be saved? And that DC should be our "crown jewel"?
It's worth fighting to redeem the "City of Washington" that the Founders built as a tribute to their new Republic, but a lot of people out there think it'd be better to make DC part of Maryland, close down 90% of the executive bureaucracies, salt the earth, and form a new meeting spot for the national government.
(Maybe somewhere the 2A is still respected to give the politicians a healthy dose of fear and accountability.)
Meanwhile, fellow GOP candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis both had plans for the FBI that involve, well, the end of the FBI:
(Warning: There's a wall of Vivek's stream-of-consciousness comin' at ya)
And DeSantis:
What do you think, fellow domestic extremists?
Which plan do you like better? Reinvigorate DC with sweeping reforms and new infrastructure? Gut the federal police force and reassign it to other departments? Decentralize DC entirely?
