Washington DC has turned into a war zone under liberal leadership. The numbers don’t lie about what years of soft-on-crime policies have done to our nation’s capital. While some politicians try to spin the data, the facts show DC remains one of America’s most dangerous cities.
DC’s murder rate hit 27.3 per 100,000 people in 2024, making it the fourth highest in the entire country. That’s nearly six times higher than New York City and worse than Chicago, Atlanta, and even Compton. If DC were a state, it would have the highest murder rate in all of America.
The crime explosion shows what happens when Democrats run cities into the ground. There were over 29,000 crimes reported last year, including thousands of violent attacks and robberies. So far this year, nearly 16,000 total crimes have already been reported, proving the crisis continues.
Even worse, juvenile crime keeps getting worse every single year since 2020. Many of these young criminals have been arrested before for violent crimes but were let back on the streets. This is what happens when liberal prosecutors refuse to hold criminals accountable.
Our nation’s capital should be a symbol of American strength and pride. Instead, it’s become more dangerous than cities in Pakistan and Cuba thanks to failed liberal policies. Tourists and government workers shouldn’t fear for their lives in Washington DC.
President Trump is finally taking action to clean up this mess. He’s moving to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard to restore order. This is exactly the kind of strong leadership America needs after years of weakness.
The liberal media will try to downplay this crime crisis, but hardworking Americans see through their lies. We know the truth about what’s happening in DC because we live with the consequences of liberal failure every day. Trump understands that public safety comes first.
It’s time to support our president as he takes on the criminals destroying our capital city. Americans deserve to feel safe in Washington DC, and Trump won’t rest until law and order are restored. This is what real leadership looks like after years of liberal disaster.
