President Trump is absolutely right to demand federal control of Washington D.C. after years of liberal mismanagement and rising crime. When a DOGE staff member gets attacked in a carjacking right in our nation’s capital, it proves the city’s Democrat leaders have completely failed. This is not just about one crime – it’s about a pattern of weakness that makes America look bad to the world.
Senator Marsha Blackburn is standing strong with Trump on this critical issue. She knows what every patriotic American knows – D.C. has become a liberal playground where criminals run wild while hardworking citizens suffer. The city that should represent American strength instead shows American weakness under Democrat control.
Trump has already ordered more federal law enforcement into D.C. to clean up the mess. FBI agents, U.S. Marshals, and other federal officers are now patrolling the streets because local cops can’t handle the job. This is exactly the kind of strong leadership America voted for when we put Trump back in office.
The numbers don’t lie – over 90 percent of D.C. voters supported Kamala Harris in the last election. These are the same people who think defunding police and soft-on-crime policies actually work. Their radical ideology has turned our nation’s capital into a dangerous embarrassment that foreign leaders must laugh at when they visit.
Liberal politicians are screaming about the 1973 Home Rule Act like it’s sacred scripture. But that law was written decades ago when D.C. wasn’t controlled by anti-American radicals who hate law and order. Times change, and sometimes federal intervention is the only way to save a city from itself.
Republican lawmakers like Senator Blackburn understand that safety comes before politics. They’ve already introduced bills to repeal Home Rule and restore federal control where it belongs. Congress gave D.C. the chance to govern itself responsibly, and Democrat leaders threw that chance away with both hands.
This isn’t just about D.C. – it’s about whether America will tolerate failure in our most important city. Every foreign diplomat and world leader visits Washington D.C. first when they come to America. What message does it send when they see crime, chaos, and incompetent leadership running wild in our capital?
Trump promised to make America great again, and that starts with making Washington D.C. safe again. Senator Blackburn and other patriots in Congress need to act fast to give the President the tools he needs to clean house. American taxpayers deserve better than watching their capital city become a liberal disaster zone.
