Red States connect with Trump’s DC Crime Crackdown
Former acting DHS secretary Chad Wolf comments on the federal performance of President Donald Trump against crime in Washington, DC, and his response to some Red States that send National Guard troops to the area for help.
While moaning and messing up teeth about the acquisition of the Trump government of the Washington DC police is starting to fade, the results come in and they are downright extraordinary.
From Wednesday afternoon, the capital of the country had no murders for seven days, something that had not been achieved since March and something that I cannot recently record in the summer months when the murder figure is usually at its highest.
Hundreds arrested when Trump’s Washington, DC, Crime Crackdown is becoming full pass
Last Monday, when a man was tragically shot in Logan Circle, just a few hours after the Trump takeover, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., Social media to say that “Trump possesses this. No word if the congressman agrees that Trump also has the life that was saved last week.
And it’s not just murder, according to the local police union. The robbery fell 46%in the week after the takeover, Carjackings fell no less than 83%and violent crime by 22%. Who could possibly argue against that?

What DC needed was not a slow and steady approach to crime that fluctuates the rates here and there. It needed a shock for the system and it got one. The patient responds very well.
The lesson here, as Shakespeare expressed it, is “if it was done when it was done, then it is ‘well done well’, that is, history shows us that cleaning up urban crime is not a slow, difficult process, but one to attack quickly and aggressively.
In his first term as mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani Treat a decrease of 60% in the murder percentage of Gotham and a violent crime drop of 56%, much of it in his first two years.
One of Rudy’s first acts as a Hizzoner was closed off the adult cinemas on Times Square, who had changed a glass and steel valley of squalor, crime and corruption from a tourist mecca.
While De Peep shows and living nude dancers were banned, the high crime in drugs, prostitution and violence that kept there was also.

That return, in the form of bail without cash, reduced the police services and district lawyers supported by George Soros, gave a lot of the profit back in the fight against crime that had been won.
In many cases, the policy of the Giuliani era was defeated by rich elites in safe neighborhoods that thought they were doing something good, and their poorer fellow citizens were not convicted of a crime.

If the results and figures of the first week of President Trump that are responsible for the DC police can be maintained, and there is no reason to think that it is not possible, then there is no political or rhetorical force on earth that can stop it.

For the first time in our capital, there is hope that children who are murdered in Gangshootouts can again be a rare tragedy, not a predictable event.
In many years, while the cherry blossoms bloom in Washington, there will be people who would not be who would not be if Trump’s actions punish the crime. What is a more important job for our political leadership?
