President Trump made history today by declaring a crime emergency in Washington DC and putting the city’s police under federal control. After years of watching our nation’s capital turn into a crime-ridden wasteland, our commander-in-chief finally said enough is enough. This is what real leadership looks like when liberal politicians fail to protect innocent Americans.
The decision came after yet another horrific attack on a hardworking patriot. Edward Coristine, a former government efficiency employee, was brutally beaten by thugs while trying to stop a carjacking. This is what happens when Democrats run cities into the ground with their soft-on-crime policies.
Trump didn’t mince words about the disaster that DC has become under liberal leadership. The president talked about the graffiti, the trash everywhere, and the crumbling roads that make our capital look like a third-world country. He promised to beautify the city and restore the pride that every American should feel when they visit Washington.
The crime statistics tell the whole ugly story that the mainstream media won’t report. Violent crime has skyrocketed in DC while Democrat politicians make excuses and coddle criminals. Meanwhile, federal workers live in fear just trying to do their jobs for the American people.
This executive order uses a law that gives the president authority over DC police when special emergency conditions exist. Trump is using every legal tool available to protect innocent citizens from the violence that liberal policies have unleashed. The attorney general will oversee the operation and report directly to the president.
Multiple federal agencies are now working together in a massive seven-day law enforcement push. The FBI, DEA, US Marshals, and many other agencies are flooding the streets to take back control from the criminals. This is the kind of coordinated response that actually works when you have a president who isn’t afraid to act.
White House officials made it clear that violent criminals will find no safe harbor in DC anymore. For too long, our beautiful capital city has been a playground for thugs while tourists and residents live in terror. President Trump is committed to making DC safe for everyone who visits or works there.
This bold action shows the difference between Trump’s America First agenda and the failed policies of the radical left. While Democrats defund police and coddle criminals, President Trump is taking direct action to protect law-abiding Americans. Today truly is liberation day for our nation’s capital.
