In recent years, crime in DC has hovered at decades-long lows. This is just another example of Trump needlessly deploying the National Guard for political theatrics.

He ought to take our troops more seriously.

Doug Burgum is just lying on national TV.

D.C. doesn't even make the cut for the top most dangerous cities in the U.S., let alone the world.

The most dangerous thing about D.C. is that its police are now under control of a power-hungry president.

So, thinking about something is a crime now? Dystopian.

While I certainly hope our military is strong enough and tough enough to face unarmed homeless people in tents.

To "go into a war"?! When you are invaded by a foreign army you are in a war whether or not you approved anything. Russia invaded Ukraine. That's just a fact, and Trump can't change that fact.

Trump readies federal moves on D.C. crime, takes over D.C. police The president is planning to flex his law enforcement power over Washington, declaring that he would clear the city of homeless people and crack down on crime.

You can tell that the President is serious about public safety in the nation’s capital because he pardoned a bunch of people who committed violent crimes in DC on his first day back in office.

Alaska Summit: Trump and Putin Planning to Carve Up Ukraine It’s hard to see anything good coming from the meeting of the president and his hero.

"As Russian-Ukrainian political scientist Vladimir Pastukhov, currently a scholar at University College London, put it in an interview: 'Two mob bosses decided to sit down and have a chat about the capitulation of Ukraine.'”

Host: Trump painted quite a dystopian picture of DC, saying that it was overtaken by bloodthirsty criminals. This imagery that doesn't compute with a lot of people's experience in the city, but also with what the actual numbers show. Statistics show that violent crime in Washington has been falling

More correct: "Trump is staying in America -- not going to Russia."

Trump is now ranting about defending women’s sports standing next to a guy who just endorsed taking away women’s right to vote

What a champion for women!

Is anyone going to point this out?

Reporter: I have lived in the DC area for almost 50 years now. The most violent moment in my life was January 6th, 2021, when Trump's supporters charged into the Capitol and beat cops. Trump's response to that was to pardon everyone who was involved

Unbelievable stuff.
