💨 Abstract

In August 2025, President Trump, emboldened by his 2024 election win, has been assertively remolding Washington, D.C., according to his vision. He has taken control of cultural institutions like the Kennedy Center and the Smithsonian museums, aiming to align them with his political beliefs. Trump has also federalized D.C.'s police force, citing concerns over crime and homelessness, despite data suggesting otherwise.
