President Donald Trump’s focus on crime throughout America is timely and necessary. It is epidemic in many blue cities in our country, and something must and can be done about it. His performance in Washington, DC, proves that dramatic reductions in crime in cities that are acclimatized to eternal lawlessness and violence are possible, but only if you have the political courage to do this.
The next is Chicago, another city plagued by non-stop violent crime. Trump’s focus there has forced local leaders to defend their lax policy and to deny the reality of unbridled crime in their cities – claims that they are ringing to terrorized locals.
Before we uncover the crime figures in Chicago and the lax policy that caused them, the results of the DC acting of the DC crime.

In Washington, DC, since the operation started on August 7, the arrests have risen, his murders have fallen almost 60%and violent crime has fallen by 17%. In a part of two weeks there was not one murder, which is unfortunately remarkable.

Despite this impressive decline, more effort is needed. There have been 106 murders, 984 reported robberies and 3,157 car thefts this year alone. Those figures are unacceptable in every city, especially the capital of the nation.
Lax local laws adopted by the city council of DC and local judges who give criminals a pass every day make an important contribution to the city’s violence culture. To resolve these gaps, the congress is considering various proposals to permanently repair the criminal justice system in DC.
As a developer who owns in Chicago, Trump is quite familiar with the chronic crime massacre in the Windy City. The figures speak for themselves, despite what Gov. Explain JB Pritzker and mayor Brandon Johnson.
To put this massacre in perspective, between 2003 and 2010, 3,481 Americans were killed in action in Iraq, on average 435 a year. In the war in Afghanistan, between 2001 and 2014, 1,833 Americans were killed in action, on average 141 a year. In Chicago there were 5,220 murders between 2017 and 2024, an average of 652 per year! Chicago is a war zone, pure and simple.

As in most large blue cities throughout America, there is a stark difference in crime rates between the richest and poorest parts of the city. White liberal elites in the safest parts of the city are not aware of, or at least immune to the constant drumbeat of violent crime in their own city. Chicago is a perfect example.
District 3, including Hyde Park and Washington Park, had a murder figure of 80.68 per 100,000 inhabitants, according to the data from the Chicago police in Chicago. District 6 (Englewood, Roseland, Woodlawn) had a speed of 73.43 per 100,000 inhabitants. And District 11 (Humbolt Park, West Garfield Park, near West Side), had a murder percentage of 72.86 per 100,000 inhabitants.
Compare those killing fields with Jefferson Park (1.97), Lincoln Square (2.29) and Uptown (3.27) – The home base of doctors, lawyers, venture capitalists and other professionals. It is not surprising that liberal elites who live in those areas are usually those who complain the hardest when Trump deals with increased federal enforcement, including offering much needed help to state and local officials.

It is also no coincidence that the first “progressive” public prosecutor, Kim Foxx, supported by George Soros, was in Chicago. As I described in my bookFoxx was hoisted from darkness in 2017 with nearly $ 700,000 to Soros-Benbonde Financial Support. Foxx unleashed a tsunami of pro-criminal, anti-victim, anti-business policy for the city as his best public prosecutor, which caused a dramatic increase in violent crime.
In the six years before there was an average of 510 murders per year (2011-2016). In the three years before Foxx was elected, 4,460 rapes were reported to the police, an average of 1,486 per year. During the term of office of Foxx (2017-2022), 10,789 rapes were reported to the police, an average of 1,804 per year.
Two weeks after the job, Foxx announced that she had set the bar for the prosecution of crime of $ 300 from $ 300 per incident to $ 1,000 per incident, although the law in Illinois was clear: crime shoplifting starts at $ 300.

When she made that announcement, there were 101 people in the Cook County prison for theft in crime. Ali Abid, a staff lawyer at the Chicago Appleshed Fund for Justice, said: “I think this is a really positive step.” Abid’s boss, Malcolm Rich, was in the Foxx transition team with then-Sen. Kamala Harris.
But Rob Karr, the president of the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, said that he was “extremely shocked and disappointed”, the addition of Foxx’s rewriting of the laws “sends a message that theft in the retail trade is victim and is not serious … This is not to explain the open season in stores. “
By 2019, three years after the social experiment of Foxx, Karr was well proven. Theft reports were shot up in the city. In the Ritzy Rush Street shopping area, incidents had been reported more than doubled. And on State Street the theft of the retail trade rose by 32%.

The use of President Trump from the pulpit to emphasize the high crime figures of Chicago and other blue cities is welcome news. Beyond are the days of Feel-good slogans about the reform of “Reform” and “massive imprisonment”. The Soros Rogue public prosecutor failed, just like the “Defund the Police” and Cashless Bail Experiment.
Americans of all stripes want and deserve to live in safe neighborhoods. Fortunately, the national vote in the right direction has shifted to crime.
