This didn’t start with trump but it may well end with him. With the exception of the National Mall area, DC is just another small, dull American city. Maybe move the Capitol to the middle of the country and start over. At least then maybe it would create jobs there too and spread the wealth around.
You clearly don't spend ANY time in DC if you believe this.
Washington is nothing like most national capitals. It’s not even in the top 10 most populous cities. Tell me, if DC did not have the national Mall with its museums/monuments and wasn't the seat of the federal government, what would attract people to the city over Chicago, New York, etc? It lost something with the white-ification.
