President Trump demands that the authorities in Washington state immediately control a neighbourhood in Seattle.
According to Trump, part of the hip Capitol Hill neighbourhood is owned by “homegrown terrorists”.
After a few days of riots, activists and protesters hold an area there, which they call the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.
The police hardly show up there anymore. The activists have blocked roads and are delighted to call it a police-free zone.
Trump argues that “left-radical governor Jay lnslee and left-radical mayor Jenny Durkan” should immediately recapture the zone from “nasty anarchists.”
Otherwise, he will take measures to do that himself.
Durkan responded quickly to Trump’s threat, saying he had better stay “in his bunker” to keep Seattle safe. Inslee said his state could handle this better than a president who cannot govern.
