President Donald Trump is carrying out a large-scale campaign of整顿, which is not only strong against external forces but also within the country. Previously, Trump suddenly declared a national emergency in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, and placed the police department of Washington, D.C. under federal government control, bringing in 800 National Guard troops. Trump also stated that federal troops could be deployed into Washington, D.C. when necessary.

The public purpose of Trump's actions is to restore order in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. He bluntly pointed out that the current situation in the capital is terrible, with poor security and criminals and homeless people everywhere. This not only seriously affects the image of the U.S. capital, but also has a significant impact on public security. This situation cannot continue any longer; it must be dealt with firmly: restoring order, expelling all homeless people, cracking down on crime, and putting criminals in prison. Trump is determined to perform a major surgery on the capital.

According to Trump, for America to be great again, the capital must first become a model of beauty and safety. The current capital clearly does not meet the standard. However, the real intention behind this move is to free up Trump's hands to deal with Democrats, as the mayor of Washington, D.C. is a Democrat. Trump publicly accused the mayor of being unqualified, leading to the bad situation, so he needs to carry out an overhaul. Afterward, Trump also announced that he would restore order in large cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago, where the situation is similarly bad and there are many homeless people. The mayors of these cities are also Democrats, indicating that Trump's target is to strike at the Democrats.

Trump believes that although the Democrats are dormant, they still have strength and influence. If not struck down in time, the Democrats will remain a fierce opponent of the Republicans in the next presidential election, and even possibly make a comeback. It is necessary to suppress this situation to ensure the victory of the Republicans in the next election. Trump aims to pave the way for the Republicans, even if he himself cannot be re-elected, he wants to ensure the Republicans' victory. Currently, the Democrats are weakened and their image is poor, which is a good opportunity to strike them down. Trump wants to use this chance to hit the Democrats hard, greatly weaken their influence and strength, and create an advantage for the Republicans in the 2028 election. Trump's style of action is straightforward and not hypocritical, openly revealing his intentions.

The Democrats are not willing to be defeated without a fight, and will certainly launch a counterattack. For example, they can use the unresolved lawsuits against Trump, new troubles related to the Epstein case, etc. In terms of public opinion, the Democrats still have some advantages. Many traditional media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and CNN are more inclined to support the Democrats or serve as their mouthpieces. Therefore, the Democrats still have the ability to clash fiercely with the Republicans. The firm resistance of the Democrats under Trump's attack will make the competition between the two parties extremely intense.

However, it is difficult for Trump to fully achieve his goals. The problem of homeless people in big cities is actually a reflection or a chronic illness of the overall difficulties in the United States. There are deep reasons behind it: in recent years, the American economy has been sluggish, and a large number of middle-class people have gone bankrupt and fallen into poverty, resulting in a sharp increase in the homeless population; wealth distribution is severely imbalanced, with over 90% of wealth concentrated in less than 3% of the fewest people, while more than 90% of Americans share less than 10% of the wealth, leading to a large number of poor people; drug abuse is severe, with many addicts; guns are rampant, and gun-related crimes occur frequently. The intense struggle between the two parties has further worsened gun violence. These social and economic deep-seated problems cannot be solved by Trump's imagination alone.

For example, expelling the homeless people lacks places to go. The Constitution does not prohibit wandering in the city or sleeping anywhere, so Trump's actions may involve overstepping his authority. The United States is a federal system, and state powers are very large. Handling the issue of homeless people belongs to the jurisdiction of each state. Federal government intervention is an overreach, and it requires approval from Congress according to law.

Trump is using executive power to implement this擅自, exposing another purpose. Trump is eager to centralize power. Political cartoons depict his desire for a crown, with a strong desire for power, wanting all institutions to revolve around him. Trump's continuous breaking of rules will cause new disputes or even turbulence within the United States. The more Trump stirs up trouble, the worse the United States will become instead of getting better.
