Muriel Bowser goes Trumpian on eviction policy

Any proposal put forward by District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser would not, to say the least, seem likely to be favored by President Donald Trump. The two are at odds over Trump’s takeover of the district’s police and general disdain for D.C. home rule. Bowser on Trump, Trump on Bowser.

But, though she would not likely seek his backing, Trump, both as president and as a housing developer, would almost certainly favor Bowser’s proposal to “rebalance” housing laws in the district. She calls the legislation the Rebalancing Expectations for Neighbors, Tenants and Landlords, or RENTAL, Act.
