This topic touches me closely. My children live in Washington, DC, and I pass about a week a month there. I don’t speak by hears say: I saw them the homeless, the beggars on every corner and that subtle feeling of insecurity that also insinuates itself into the “instagrammable” neighborhoods. They are not statistics or TV services: it is true life, and it is a city I care about.
So, let’s clarify: Trump who takes the DC police in his hand is not the classic “megalomaniac with the sheriff’s star”. It is a “now enough” screamed so strong that the statue of Lincoln also jumped. He saw a city that, despite some recent statistical improvement, still drowns in violent crimes and has decided not to make the usual press conference with three flags and a glass of water behind: he chose to intervene.
Trump instead sent 800 men of the national guard with a message for criminals: “The game is over, go home”. And the mayor Bowser? He made the usual monologue on “democracy in danger”, he tried to oppose, he did the indignant veneers … and then he had to admit that the provision is legal and constitutional.
Trump, as promised in the election campaign, does not discount on crime. He doesn’t care to seem “inclusive” with those who point you a gun in your face. Find every legal escapade to counter the approach “sooner or later they will stop” that the left -wing mayors continue to pass out as a security policy.
And the Democrats? Always ready to shout at the “fascist coup” while they ignore that their “Defund The Police” worked very well … for criminals. Justice has nothing to do with it, it is only war of power, and in the meantime who lives in the “Sanctuary City” pays the bill.
In short, Trump’s move is bold, necessary and late years. It is a promise kept to those who asked for order. Statistics can also smile, but until each neighborhood is sure, the action beats the numbers. And Trump, like it or not, puts the action … and for me, for the good of my boys, like it!
