“I can’t sign with my hands cuffed,” he later said. "They took my power.”

Paul Krugman:
Trump Plays the Carnage Card
Fake crime wave, real power grab
"Anyone who either lives in DC or looks at crime data knows that this is malicious nonsense. But we can’t take it for granted that the rest of the country will understand that that he’s lying.
It’s the responsibility of the news media to make that clear. Don’t say “Trump makes contentious claims about DC crime.” Don’t say that there’s “dispute over DC crime data.” Just say that he’s lying.
"
