Democrats claim D.C. crime is low, but manipulated stats reveal a different story.
On Monday morning, President Donald Trump took a bold and unprecedented step to confront the lawlessness that has overtaken Washington, D.C.
In a no-nonsense press conference, Trump announced the federalization of the city’s Metropolitan Police Department and deployed the National Guard to battle the soaring crime, rampant homelessness, drug abuse, and urban decay plaguing the nation’s capital. Declaring the day “Liberation Day,” Trump vowed to reclaim the city from what he described as “crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor, and worse.”
Standing alongside key members of his administration, Trump bluntly cut through the typical political correctness: “It’s not politically correct to say this, but we’re getting rid of the slums too. We have slums here.” Trump singled out a recent violent outbreak involving more than 100 youths in the Navy Yard neighborhood as a stark example of the chaos festering unchecked. He addressed the gathered press with a rare mix of candor and toughness, telling them, “You people are victims of it too. you don’t want to get mugged and raped and shot and killed,” emphasizing that this issue affects everyone, regardless of political loyalties.
