“Columbia” is a poetic and historical name for the United States, derived from Christopher Columbus. In the 18th century, the name “Columbia” was often used to symbolize the United States, appearing in literature, songs, and even as the personification of America.
Washington, D.C., as the District of Columbia
The creation of Washington, D.C., as the capital of the United States, traces back to the late 18th century. The U.S. Constitution authorized Congress to establish a federal district to serve as the nation’s capital. In 1790, the Residence Act designated a 100-square-mile area along the Potomac River for this purpose.
The land for the district was ceded by Maryland and Virginia. The name “District of Columbia” reflected the poetic usage of “Columbia” as a symbol for the new republic, while the city itself was named after George Washington, the nation’s first president.
Over time, the “District of Columbia” came to refer to the entire federal area that houses the capital city, Washington. Today, Washington, D.C., is synonymous with the political and administrative center of the United States.
It will soon be revealed that the foreign occupation (District of Columbia) is over ... and that our Republic has been restored after being captured for 154 years...
I think you're going to be very happy soon...
We're giving it back to you, The People
We're going to do so much winning, you're going to say, "Please! Please Mr President stop! We can't take it anymore!!!
Great catch! This may mean the last stages of foreclosure on USA, Inc. may have gone through, and we've reclaimed our territory of DC that was sold to the corporate raiders back in the Organic Act of 1871.
Calling Washington D.C. "The City of Washington" isn't particularly odd, but it's less common and somewhat more formal than the usual names used:
Washington, D.C. - This is the most commonly used name, where "D.C." stands for "District of Columbia."
Washington - Often used informally when context makes it clear which Washington is being referred to (not to be confused with Washington State).
The District - A colloquial shorthand used by locals or in informal contexts.
"The City of Washington" does reflect historical usage; for instance:
In the past, documents and some formal references might have used this style for clarity or for a more dignified tone.
However, it might sound slightly antiquated or overly formal in modern, everyday conversation.
The reason it might seem odd is because:
The name "Washington, D.C." has become so iconic and universally recognized that adding "The City of" feels like extra verbiage.
It's not the official name in common use, which could lead to slight confusion or the impression that the speaker is referencing a different or historical context.
So, while it's not wrong, it's just not the conventional way to refer to Washington D.C. in contemporary usage. If you're writing formally or historically, or perhaps in legal documents, you might see this phrasing, but in casual conversation, it would stand out.
I read Grok’s input in another comment, but here is my thought - everyone calls it DC, so seems like he would have a reason for not using that term. My next admittedly off in left field thought is, if the evil of DC is literally going to be destroyed, maybe he has already moved the “District” as called for in the Constitution to somewhere else. So it is possible it isn’t the District anymore.
Ask yourself, who is Columbia and how did Washington become a district of it?

The goddess Columbia came from the desire to create a female deity for America. A false God. The year 1667.
Way did Maryland take their part back ?
We have seen the meaning of so many words and phrases changed or revised by the Deep State, Cabal, Cartel, Coup.
Accordingly, I propose a new interpretation;
Bro...bro...
It will soon be revealed that the foreign occupation (District of Columbia) is over ... and that our Republic has been restored after being captured for 154 years...

The DC Corporation is dead.
The Corporation died during Trump's first term.
A lot of sub-corps to deal with yet.

It used to be called Washington City during the 1800s, including during the civil war. Interesting
I hope it’s from the White House
Looks normal, Obama’s said the same thing.
