President Trump is delivering on his promise to clean up the crime-infested streets of Washington D.C. The tough-talking commander-in-chief has deployed over 800 National Guard troops to take back our nation’s capital from violent criminals. In just two weeks, federal forces have made more than 1,000 arrests and stopped all homicides in their tracks.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer is standing firmly behind Trump’s bold action. The Kentucky Republican knows what every patriotic American knows about D.C. crime. Liberal politicians have turned our beautiful capital into a dangerous wasteland where law-abiding citizens fear for their lives.
For years, the radical D.C. Council has pushed their soft-on-crime agenda that puts criminals first and victims last. Their cashless bail system lets dangerous repeat offenders walk free to terrorize innocent people again and again. Mayor Muriel Bowser and her fellow Democrats have failed the people of Washington completely.
Trump is now federalizing the Metropolitan Police Department to bypass these failed local leaders. He’s bringing in more federal prosecutors and expanding the U.S. Park Police to restore real law and order. The president refuses to let radical Democrats continue destroying America’s most important city.
Congress is now investigating whether D.C. officials have been lying about crime statistics all along. These corrupt politicians may have been cooking the books to hide their complete failure to protect citizens. The Department of Justice has opened its own investigation into this potential cover-up.
The results speak for themselves since Trump took charge of the situation. Zero murders have occurred in nearly two weeks under federal control. More than 1,000 criminals are now off the streets where they belong.
Liberal Mayor Bowser continues to complain about Trump’s successful crackdown instead of thanking him for saving her city. She would rather protect her political power than protect the people she swore to serve. This is exactly why we need strong conservative leadership.
President Trump is proving once again that America First policies work when we have the courage to implement them. While Democrats coddle criminals, Trump puts law-abiding citizens first where they belong. This is what real leadership looks like in action.
