Well, he must have seen how well the Trump NG deployment in D.C. lowered crime there.

When was the last time you heard of a series of bad crimes in D.C.?



Significant Reductions: Following the August 2025 deployment, reported crime in D.C. dropped, with data suggesting violent crime fell by roughly 20-30% from 2024 levels during the surge.

Homicides: The city experienced a notable drop in homicides, with year-to-date data for 2025 showing a 25% to 32% decrease compared to 2024.

Carjackings and Theft: Reports indicate an 83% drop in carjackings and a 21% decrease in car thefts during the first few months of the deployment.
