Now all Trump has to do is mobilize the National Guard and Police to arrest all the pedophile politician's that were on the Epstein list as well as all the Politician's that Robbed the American Tax payers based on what DOGE discovered with Fraud, Waste and Abuse- THE REAL CRIMMINALS not Petty Criminals!
The crime statistics I'm citing were released before Trump even took office - many going back to 2023 and 2024. How exactly does that fit into some supposed anti-Trump conspiracy? Are you suggesting that statisticians somehow knew Trump would be re-elected and federalize DC police in 2025, so they preemptively manipulated the data two years in advance? When's the last time you actually visited Washington DC? I was there three times in the past two years, and it's in significantly better shape than most other cities I've traveled to. Have you ever been to Detroit, for instance? If Trump had federalized police there, I might have understood the reasoning. But he chose to do it in the nation's capital - a city that was already seeing crime decline. If that doesn't set off massive red flags for someone, they must be smoking too much dope, eating lead paint chips, or huffing gasoline. I honestly don't know what else would explain that level of obliviousness.
Even if DC crime statistics are slightly better, they are still horrific compared to most big cities. Car jacking in particular is a bone chilling crime and the DC laws giving under age kids a free pass is a large contribution to the problem. Never voted for Trump but he is right here.
DC has approximately 700,000 residents, making it comparable to cities like Denver (715,000), Seattle (750,000), Nashville (695,000), and Portland (650,000).
DC's Crime Performance vs Similar Cities (2020-2025):
Homicides:
DC's homicide rate fell 19% in the first half of 2025 compared to 2024, while the average change in 30 large cities was -17% Trump administration claims D.C. police chief powers, but capital leaders push back
DC's homicide rate in 2025 was 3% lower than pre-pandemic 2019 levels, compared to an average -14% across 30 cities Trump administration claims D.C. police chief powers, but capital leaders push back
This means DC is performing slightly worse than the national urban average, but still improving
Overall Violent Crime Trends:
All major violent crimes in DC have dropped dramatically since their 2023 peaks: homicides down 65%, gun assaults down 61%, robberies down 74%, and carjackings down 75% Trump administration claims D.C. police chief powers, but capital leaders push back
National data shows homicide and most violent crimes have fallen below pre-pandemic levels in samples of 40-42 U.S.- Fox News
International Capital Comparisons:
Trump claimed DC's murder rate is "higher than that of Bogotá, Colombia; Mexico City, or some of the places that you hear about as being the worst places on Earth" Trump to deploy National Guard and federalize D.C. police in crime-fighting effort - but CNN's fact-check found this to be false based on current data from those cities.
Cities Performing Worse Than DC:
Baltimore is now the deadliest large city in America Trump federalizes D.C. police, 103 arrested since Monday crackdown | Fox News, and cities like Anniston, AL and East St. Louis, IL have far higher violent crime rates Trump announces National Guard activation to tackle Washington crime | Fox News.
The Political Timing:
The federalization came precisely when DC was already showing massive improvements across all crime categories. Crime expert analysis shows "an unmistakable and large drop in reported violence in the District since the summer of 2023" that "is consistent with what's being reported in other large cities across the country" Trump administration claims D.C. police chief powers, but capital leaders push back.
The Real Motive:
This wasn't about crime - it was about creating a media spectacle. Trump federalized police in a city that was already safer than many others and experiencing significant crime reductions, then claimed credit for trends that began two years before he took office. The timing coincides with mounting legal pressures and the need to appear "tough on crime" to his base, classic authoritarian playbook material - manufacture a crisis, implement federal control, then claim victory over problems that were already being solved locally.
The data clearly shows this was political theater, not public safety policy.
The problem is both parties at this point. They are all infiltrated by the same third party group using democracy as the means to take control of the government by fomenting tribalism. Classic 'Divide and Rule' strategies as old as time itself.

Yeah, we both know that will never happen. The real crooks wear suits.
Anything labeled “non-partisan” is pure propaganda.
You would have to be a fool to believe the statistics, and not your lying eyes.
Get a clue .
