President Trump’s tough-on-crime approach is working in Washington DC, and the numbers prove it. More than 1,000 criminals have been arrested in just over two weeks since Trump ordered federal law enforcement to take control. The nation’s capital went 12 straight days without a single murder, something that rarely happens in this crime-ridden city.
Trump isn’t playing games with violent criminals anymore. He announced that anyone who commits murder in DC will face the death penalty under federal law. This is real justice, not the soft-on-crime policies that Democrats have pushed for decades.
The president signed new orders to hire more federal police and prosecutors to clean up the mess. He’s also creating a special National Guard unit just for DC because local officials clearly can’t handle the job. When Democrats fail to protect innocent people, Trump steps in to do what’s right.
One of the biggest problems has been DC’s cashless bail system that lets criminals walk free. This liberal policy puts dangerous people back on the streets to commit more crimes. Trump is ending this madness because he actually cares about keeping families safe.
Mayor Muriel Bowser and other city leaders are fighting Trump’s efforts because they’d rather protect criminals than victims. They’ve had decades to fix DC’s crime problem and failed miserably. Now they’re upset that a real leader is getting results.
DC hasn’t used the death penalty since 1957, and the city council got rid of it completely in 1981. Liberal politicians think being nice to murderers will somehow make them change their ways. Trump knows that only serious consequences will stop serious crimes.
The federal takeover is already working better than anything local Democrats have tried. Over 1,000 arrests and nearly two weeks without a murder shows what happens when you actually enforce the law. Crime goes down when criminals know they’ll face real punishment.
This is what real leadership looks like when you put American families first. Trump promised law and order, and he’s delivering results that save lives. Every parent in America should be cheering as our president makes our cities safe again.
