President Trump just proved once again that real leadership gets results. The liberal mayor of Washington DC, Muriel Bowser, finally admitted that Trump’s tough crime crackdown is working. She praised the huge drop in crime since our president sent in the National Guard to clean up the mess Democrats created.
Trump took control of DC’s streets on August 11th after years of Democrat failure. He sent in the National Guard, FBI agents, and ICE to do what local politicians wouldn’t do. The results speak for themselves and even liberal Mayor Bowser had to give credit where credit is due.
The numbers don’t lie about Trump’s success. Carjackings dropped by an incredible 87 percent since federal forces arrived. Violent crime fell 45 percent while arrests jumped 20 percent. Gun seizures increased 12 percent as criminals finally faced real consequences.
Attorney General Pam Bondi reports that over 1,500 arrests have been made in just weeks. Federal agents seized 165 illegal guns from the streets. They even caught members of the dangerous Tren de Aragua gang that Democrats let flood into our country.
Before Trump stepped in, DC was one of the most dangerous cities in the world. The murder rate hit over 27 deaths per 100,000 people in 2024. Car thefts were three times the national average as criminals ran wild under weak Democrat leadership.
Republican Congressman Buddy Carter from Georgia perfectly summed up what every American family deserves. Safe streets should not be too much to ask for in the greatest country on earth. Yet Democrats in cities like Chicago continue to let violence destroy communities.
Trump’s DC victory shows what happens when we put America First policies into action. Real police work, tough enforcement, and federal backup create the safety that families need. This is exactly the kind of strong leadership that makes America great again.
The president promised to make DC one of the safest cities in the world instead of the most dangerous. Even liberal Mayor Bowser now admits he’s delivering on that promise. This is what winning looks like when conservatives fight for law and order.
