Blacks account for 96% of murder victims in DC. There is no way to argue Trump is not saving black lives that have been ignored for decades by the Democrat party.
In fact, the Democrat party is actively pushing for more crime in the black community by opposing the efforts by Trump.
President Donald Trump's federalization of the D.C. police department and crackdown on Washington crime overwhelmingly benefited Black Americans, who are common victims of violent crimes, crime data found.
"You go 13 days without a homicide occurring. Those homicides would have invariably been very heavily Black," Crime Prevention Research Center Founder and President John Lott told Fox News Digital in a Wednesday phone interview. "And so those lives, you have Blacks who didn't die, who otherwise would have died."
Lott published data in August focusing on Washington, D.C.'s 13-day run of zero homicides following Trump federalizing the city's police department, deploying National Guard members to the streets, and unleashing federal law enforcement agencies to assist with arrests and crime sweeps of the city. There were no recorded homicides in the city beginning the afternoon of Aug. 13 through the early morning hours of Aug. 26, according to police data, with the streak ending when a 31-year-old man was fatally shot Aug. 26.
Using the city's homicide rate from the first seven months of 2025, Lott found there was a 0.37% probability of such a homicide-free streak occurring on its own. The figure is based on D.C. crime data that is currently under Department of Justice investigation for claims the police department manipulated crime data to publish more favorable stats.
The streak of no homicides overwhelmingly benefits Black Americans, the data found. Between 2019 and 2021, Black victims accounted for 96% of all homicides in the District, the report found.
"You have others that are there that are going out and claiming that Trump's policies are racist. Who are the victims of these crimes?" Lott asked, referring to Democrat politicians who have rejected Trump's plans to roll out similar crime crackdowns in other cities notorious for crime woes.
