President Trump announced Thursday that he will personally hit the streets of Washington D.C. with police and National Guard troops. This is exactly the kind of hands-on leadership America voted for. While other presidents hide behind their desks, Trump is rolling up his sleeves and getting to work.
The results speak for themselves. Since Trump launched his anti-crime initiative, Washington D.C. has gone over a week without a single murder. That’s what happens when you actually enforce the law instead of coddling criminals.
Law enforcement has made 630 arrests and seized 86 illegal guns in just one week. These are the kind of numbers that make liberal mayors cry. Trump’s tough approach is already saving lives and making our nation’s capital safer.
The National Guard is doing an outstanding job patrolling the streets. These brave men and women in uniform know how to restore order. They’re not there to play games with thugs and gangsters.
Of course, the usual suspects are already complaining. Protesters tried to boo Vice President Vance and other officials when they visited the troops. These are probably the same people who want to defund the police.
Even former D.C. security officials admit the crime stats don’t lie. They can whine about Trump’s tough talk all they want. But they can’t argue with results when murders drop to zero.
This is what real leadership looks like. Trump isn’t sending someone else to do the dirty work. He’s getting out there himself to stand with our brave law enforcement officers.
America finally has a president who puts criminals on notice. The days of turning our cities into war zones are over. Trump is bringing law and order back to Washington, and the whole country is watching.
