Vice President JD Vance made it crystal clear on Wednesday that President Trump’s bold crime crackdown in Washington DC is working beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. Standing with our brave National Guard troops at Union Station, Vance praised their incredible work over just nine short days. He didn’t mince words about the mess they found, calling out the vagrants, drug addicts, and mentally ill people who have been terrorizing families for far too long.
The results speak for themselves and they are absolutely stunning. Violent crime has plummeted by an incredible 35 percent in just nine days since Trump took action. Hundreds of criminals have been arrested, including gang members, robbery suspects, and 28 illegal immigrants caught in just one day alone.
Vance had harsh words for the radical leftist protesters who showed up to complain about cleaning up their beloved crime-ridden city. He called them exactly what they are – crazy communists who hate the idea that regular Americans should be able to enjoy safe communities. These protesters were chanting “free DC” while our troops were literally making the streets safer for working families.
Nearly 1,900 National Guard troops are now deployed across Washington, with most coming from Republican-led states that actually care about law and order. They are stationed at key locations like Union Station, the National Mall, and Metro stops where crime has run wild for years. These brave men and women are finally bringing real security back to our nation’s capital.
Trump made history by becoming the first president ever to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department using emergency powers. This bold move shows real leadership when local Democrats have completely failed their own citizens. While liberals whine about federal overreach, Trump is actually solving problems that Democrat politicians created.
Of course, the usual suspects are already filing lawsuits to stop this common-sense approach to fighting crime. DC’s liberal leaders would rather protect criminals than innocent families trying to go about their daily lives. This is exactly why Americans voted for Trump – to cut through the red tape and actually get things done.
Vance made it clear that this mission could extend well beyond the initial 30-day period if Congress approves it. The vice president knows that you cannot clean up decades of Democrat failure in just a few weeks. Real change takes time and sustained effort from leaders who actually care about results.
This is what Making America Great Again looks like in action – taking back our streets from criminals and giving them back to law-abiding citizens. While Democrats cry about their precious sanctuary policies, Trump and Vance are delivering the safety and security that every American deserves. The message is simple: law and order are back, and the criminals better get used to it.
