President Trump is finally doing what Washington D.C. desperately needs. He sent the National Guard to take back our nation’s capital from the chaos and crime that Democrats have allowed to fester for years.
The liberal mayor and city council have completely failed the people of Washington. Crime has been out of control while they focus on woke policies instead of keeping Americans safe. Trump had to step in because local Democrats simply will not do their job.
Now we have nearly 2,000 brave National Guard members patrolling the streets of D.C. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made the smart decision to arm these troops so they can actually protect innocent people. This is just common sense that liberals refuse to understand.
Democrat politicians are already crying about Trump’s decisive action. They claim this is somehow authoritarian while their own cities burn with crime and violence. The only thing authoritarian is letting criminals run wild while law-abiding citizens live in fear.
Trump took federal control of the D.C. police department because local leadership has completely failed. Republican governors from six states stepped up to send additional troops to help restore order. This shows real leadership compared to the Democrats who created this mess.
The president made it clear he will expand this approach to other Democrat-run disasters like Chicago and New York. Americans are tired of watching their cities destroyed by liberal policies that put criminals first and victims last.
Local D.C. officials know they have no choice but to comply with Trump’s emergency declaration. Even they admit the president has broad authority to take these actions when public safety is at risk.
This is what real leadership looks like. Trump is keeping his promise to restore law and order while Democrats complain from the sidelines about the very solutions their failures made necessary.
