You may feel you can’t go three city blocks without being assailed by some foul smell, sight, or individual. You may feel wary of walking home past sunset.

That seems to be the argument forwarded by those adamantly opposed to President Donald Trump’s plans for Washington, D.C.

HuffPost calls Trump a liar and a “convicted felon” in one headline.  (RELATED: Trump Orders Much Needed Housekeeping Of America’s Cities)
