President Trump took bold action this week to restore law and order in our nation’s capital. On Monday, he put Washington DC’s police force under federal control and sent 800 National Guard troops to patrol the streets. This decisive move comes after years of failed liberal leadership that has let crime spiral out of control.
The President declared a crime emergency in DC because violent criminals have been attacking federal workers and terrorizing tourists. Our capital city should be a shining example of American greatness, not a dangerous wasteland where government employees fear for their lives. Trump is doing what weak Mayor Bowser refused to do – actually protect innocent people.
Liberal protesters immediately took to the streets with their typical whining and “National Disgrace” signs. These are the same people who probably supported defunding the police when crime was skyrocketing. Now they complain when a real leader steps in to fix their mess.
Trump’s federal takeover will only last 30 days unless Congress approves an extension. The President already announced he will ask Republican lawmakers for a long-term deal to keep DC safe. This makes perfect sense because you cannot fix decades of liberal failure in just one month.
The fake news media is already spinning this as some kind of overreach. They claim crime is actually going down, but any honest person can see the truth with their own eyes. Federal workers should not have to dodge bullets on their way to serve America.
Mayor Bowser says she will cooperate but still denies there is any real crime problem in her city. This is exactly the kind of head-in-the-sand thinking that got DC into this mess in the first place. Liberal mayors care more about politics than protecting people.
Trump also promised to clean up the graffiti, remove the homeless camps, and make Washington beautiful again. He plans to ask Congress for money to fix the roads and restore the parks that have been destroyed under Democrat rule. Finally, someone who actually cares about making America’s capital look respectable.
This is what real leadership looks like when a president puts America first. While Democrats waste time on their witch hunts and resistance games, Trump is busy making our streets safer for hardworking families and tourists who want to visit their capital city without fear.
