WASHINGTON — President Trump upbraided Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser
on Friday, accusing her of being “incompetent” as tensions between the
pair escalate.

In a series of tweets, Trump ripped Bowser after the Democratic mayor
painted “Black Lives Matter” in huge letters on the street leading to the
White House earlier Friday and demanded the president withdraw the
thousands of National Guard troops deployed to the nation’s capital.

“The incompetent Mayor of Washington, D.C., @MayorBowser, who’s budget is
totally out of control and is constantly coming back to us for ‘handouts’,
is now fighting with the National Guard, who saved her from great
embarrassment over the last number of nights,” Trump tweeted.

“If she doesn’t treat these men and women well, then we’ll bring in a
different group of men and women!” he continued.

Bowser, who is African American, clashed with Trump after his
administration decided to flood the region with troops last weekend after
peaceful protests over the death of George Floyd made way for rioting,
looting and arson.

The Democrat, who assumed office in 2015, mocked the president for hiding
“alone” and “afraid” inside the heavily fortified White House and said she
wanted the out-of-state National Guard to leave after she ended a curfew
for residents.

The White House returned fire Thursday evening, telling The Post that
Bowser’s lack of leadership forced Trump to restore law and order in
Washington.

In a huge political statement Friday morning, Bowser designated the square
in front of Lafayette Park as Black Lives Matter Plaza and ordered city
staffers and local artists to paint “Black Lives Matter” in enormous
yellow letters on the street that leads to the White House.

“There was a dispute this week about whose street this is,” John
Falcicchio, Bowser’s chief of staff, wrote in a tweet.

“Mayor Bowser wanted to make it abundantly clear that this is DC’s street
and to honor demonstrators who [were] peacefully protesting on Monday
evening,” he continued, referring to the protesters who were forcefully
cleared by the National Guard from Lafayette Park.

But the move did not win Bowser the support of Washington’s Black Lives
Matter chapter, which described it as a “performative distraction from
real policy changes.”

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.

Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
5, 2020. "President Trump, Not Guilty."
