President Trump promised to clean up the crime-ridden streets of Washington D.C., and the numbers prove he is delivering big time. Just two weeks after declaring a federal crime emergency in our nation’s capital, violent crime has plummeted by a stunning 27 percent compared to last year. This is what real leadership looks like when you put America first instead of coddling criminals.
The data tells an incredible story that the mainstream media refuses to cover. Homicides are down 12 percent, robberies have crashed by 30 percent, and assaults with dangerous weapons dropped 19 percent. These are not just statistics – these represent real American lives saved and families protected thanks to Trump’s bold action.
Before Trump stepped in, D.C. had become a national embarrassment with one of the highest murder rates in the country. The homicide rate was a shocking 27.3 per 100,000 residents, making our capital more dangerous than many foreign cities. Liberal politicians sat back and watched as criminals ran wild through our streets.
Trump did what weak politicians refused to do – he declared a federal emergency and put the Metropolitan Police Department under federal control. While Democrats whined about federal overreach, Trump focused on protecting innocent Americans from violent thugs. This is exactly the kind of decisive action we voted for.
The results speak for themselves and prove that tough-on-crime policies actually work. When you stop making excuses for criminals and start backing law enforcement, crime goes down fast. Trump showed that you can restore order to even the most dangerous cities when you have the courage to act.
Now Trump has his sights set on Chicago, another Democrat-controlled disaster zone where crime has spiraled out of control. If he can turn around D.C. in just two weeks, imagine what he can do for other American cities plagued by liberal soft-on-crime policies. The criminals should be very worried right now.
This stunning success proves that the American people were right to reject the failed policies of the past four years. While Biden let crime run wild, Trump is restoring law and order to our streets. This is just the beginning of making America safe again.
The contrast could not be clearer between Trump’s results and the Democrats’ excuses. In two short weeks, Trump accomplished more to fight crime than the previous administration did in four long years. This is what happens when you elect a president who actually cares about protecting American families.
