Is trump about to occupy DC?

[C_Clayton_Jones]

WTF is he planning?

A pathetic attempt to deflect from a failing economy, Epstein, and his increasingly unpopular fascist regime.

Dimocrat cities coddle criminals. Since they won't do the job of prosecuting thugs, maybe the feds will.

You elected a convicted criminal as President. So shut up lying about Democrats.

 

[IM2]

President Trump is trying to bring peace to the capital, and is conceding the home rule has been a failure

No he isn't. This is a stunt to get your minds off Epsten. When all else fails, play the race card.

Protecting civilians translates to "occupy" in the TDS mind. No surprise here

He is not protecting anyone.

Is DC crime ‘totally out of control,' as Trump said? What the numbers show

President Donald Trump called D.C. crime “ridiculous” in remarks Wednesday in the Oval Office. He threatened to federalize the police department and even bring in National Guard troops. But Metropolitan Police Department data shows crime in D.C. is down. Violent crime dropped 26% this year so...

The dems are not stupid. They're evil and they know exactly what they're doing.

They won't dare do anything to fix the crime/homeless problem in DC because they get billions of our money to work at "fixing" the problem.

For example, the homeless problem in DC is a very lucrative and grift-laden business.

Washington DC Crime Ranking​

Washington DC ranks among the highest crime rates in the United States. In 2023, the city reported 264 homicides, which is a significant increase from previous years. The crime rate in Washington DC is 2.4 times higher than the U.S. average, and it was higher than in 98.5% of U.S. cities. The city also has a high rate of violent crimes, with 53.4% of all violent crimes being robberies. Additionally, the property crime rate is also high, with 69.4% of all property crimes being larceny-thefts. These statistics highlight the need for continued efforts to improve safety and reduce crime in the District of Columbia.

How is reducing these numbers bad?

Given that crime went up dramatically the last time Trump was in office, and that it took Joe Biden to bring DOWN the national crime and murder rate the last time Trump was President, what makes you think that Trump will do anything to bring the crime rate down in DC?

U.S. sees sharp decline in murders and other crimes in 2024

The number of murders in the U.S. is declining at a rapid pace. While crime was a central focus of the election, with President-elect Trump alleging it was out of control in many cities, other crimes also saw declines. William Brangham discussed what the data tells us with Jeff Asher, the...

Trump Now Citing Murder Stats He Used to Dismiss as 'Fake News' - FactCheck.org

President Donald Trump recently boasted that the nation's murder rate has "plummeted by 28%" since he took office. Data supplied by local police departments do show the nation's murder rate is dropping, as it has been for several years. Notably, Trump now seems comfortable with crime data that...

Well YOU'RE certainly stupid if you think that's the way things work.

Homelessness exists because WEALTHLY CORPORATIONS got into buying up housing as an "investment" in the 1980's and drove up the price of real estate making housing unaffordable for working people.

It's not political, moron, it's economic.

Stop believing stupid shit Republicans tell you.

Yup

Remember the “crisis” that lead to Trump putting NG troops in LA

That just went away

 

[LeftofLeft]

The Trump haters predictably choose murder, assault, carjackings and flash mobs over a more secure and lower crime Nation’s Capital. Washington, DC is people’s city. It should be more secure, clean than any other US City and welcoming for all citizens and visitors.

Home Rule is a failure. With all of the Federal Law Enforcement and Military in DC, we can do better than what DC Government is delivering for US.

Everybody in the forum, both right and left KNOWS Trump would immediately improve DC if he had the US government take it over. The man is the epitome of competence.

Actually corporations only own 3-5% of the nation's single family homes, and many of them were picked up during the Obama Recession 15 years ago.

I can't tell if this guy is trolling, or he really believes what he says.

The District has had steadily declining crime rates for 30 years.

I like that.

President Trump should have "Epitome Competentiae" engraved on his podium to remind people.

What a catastrophe!
Of course this makes a good distraction from Trump’s Epstein troubles

Trump is determined to use the military on US citizens. He wants blood in the streets, and he's determined to make it happen. Then he can declare martial law, suspend elections and become dictator for life.

When you send Federal troops into a city without the request of the elected government it is an occupation.

In this case, a paramilitary one.

This is Nazi tactics. it is also the behavior of third world tinhorn dictators.

The rise of facism in Americ must be stopped. Period.
