This would be a bad decision by Trump in my opinion. If I am him, I view carefully the issue of crime as there are forces who want to hurt his administration and find reasons to paint him as a strong man who is operating like a king. They did it before 2020 as well to cut into his broader appeal and it probably worked.
It''s one thing to weigh in on an issue, another to step over a line.
As an example, Premier Ford and former Mayor Tory weighed in on a legal issue and then both went silent and tried to change the subject when the facts came out which made them look like impulsive fascists.
Regardless of what is facts or not, Trump overstepping his boundaries is setting a precedence that could impact Florida, Texas or Arizona in the future while at the same time allowing MSNBC and especially CNN (who are appealing more to Independents and libertarians of late, even if slightly) to view Trump as a tyrant looking for any excuse to take away powers relegated to the states (or municipalities) while having an entirely different opinion as it refers to Roe vs Wade.
Stay consistent and let the United STATES be just that. Though I understand D.C is technically not a state, some people might be trying to harm him in the midterms and it doesn't take much to lose the support from those hard to reach communities that GOP never tapped into in the past.

President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to federalize Washington, D.C., calling for local minors and gang members over the age of 14 to be prosecuted as adults, after a famed former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employee was allegedly beaten in the nation's capital.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said local youth and gang members are "randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released."
Along with the post, Trump shared a photo of a bloodied man on the street.
