Pres­i­dent Trump’s deploy­ment of the Nation­al Guard to Wash­ing­ton, D.C., hailed as a “win-win” for com­mu­ni­ty safe­ty, stirs con­tro­ver­sy as crit­ics argue troops avoid high-crime areas. With plans to tar­get Bal­ti­more and Chica­go next, Trump dis­miss­es declin­ing crime stats, focus­ing on pub­lic safe­ty. Crit­ics, who once sup­port­ed COVID lock­downs, now decry his tac­tics, while sup­port­ers high­light safer streets for res­i­dents like grand­moth­ers. Explore the debate over Trump’s crime crack­down, its ties to past mil­i­tary deploy­ments, and why D.C.’s 30-year crime low isn’t calm­ing the media storm.

  • Trump send­ing the Nation­al Guard to DC is a win, win. Grand­moth­ers want to be safe in their com­mu­ni­ty. You will hear the argu­ing about the Nation­al Guard being in DC, but you will hear they are not going down the streets where the real crime is tak­ing place. Trump is talk­ing about going to Bal­ti­more and Chica­go next. The media is hang­ing on the sta­tis­tics and that Trump is hung up on the data. These are the same peo­ple that were ok with lock­ing you in your hous­es and con­trol­ling you dur­ing COVID when and where you can go. 
  • There were years that our mil­i­tary was in Afghanistan that we didn’t have any­one killed.
