The results are in, and President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown in Washington, D.C. has been a resounding success – and it’s putting Democrats on the defensive nationwide.
As White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Thursday, total crime in the nation’s capital is down 19 percent since Trump federalized the D.C. Police Department and deployed National Guard troops to the streets. Violent crime is down 30 percent, carjackings are down 67 percent, homicides are down 57 percent, and robberies are down 40 percent.
Even Democrat D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has admitted how successful Trump’s anti-crime push has been. After initially calling the President’s actions “unsettling and unprecedented,” Bowser declared at a press conference this week, “We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city.”
That’s about as close as a Democrat in a deep blue city like D.C. will ever come to complimenting Donald Trump, and it speaks volumes about how, try as they might, liberals just can’t ignore that the President’s efforts are working.
