How Not to Win

Fact Check: Trump's False Claims about Washington D.C.
Here are a few examples of the utter folly of what the Left is trying to do:
Trump didn't say Washington was the most violent city in America. He has been quite explicit; it's more dangerous than any state in America (they need to learn to actually listen) and it's our nation's capital which means it's the place foreign nationals go when they come here. If one is hosting guests in their homes they at least clean up the living room. Often the bedroom is not dealt with but the door is closed.
Also, Trump has the POWER to legally do this, which he does not have in other, more dangerous cities. If Trump were to send troops to my hometown St. Louis there would be a huge explosion from the Democrats and the media and Trump would likely be impeached (of course that will happen regardless of what he does if the Donks take back power). It's not legal for him to do it. But Washington is the Federal District, and didn't even run it's own affairs until 1973. And the law granting this is quite plain; the President can take steps to renationalize the city in the event of an emergency, and he has 30 days BY LAW before he must get Congressional approval. Everything Mr. Trump did was legal. No doubt Trump would like to do this in other crime-riddled cities but is constrained by that little niggling detail called the Law.
The article continues:
Oh?
The head of the police union, Gregg Pemberton, says police statistics are "ridiculous" and claims it was an open secret cops were instructed to downgrade the charges of criminals on paper to make it appear crime was dropping.
In point of fact there is nothing the D.C. government can point to that would explain this mysterious drop in crime. I made this exact same case a while back when the FBI under Joe Biden came out with crime stats showing a ridiculous drop in crime - a drop that turned out to be another act of gaslighting. D.C. has pretty much followed suit. It's not the amount of crime but the reporting of crime that is dropping.
The very appropriately named Muriel Bowser (man is SHE a dog), Mayor of Washington, ttried to claim it was all her doing:
And yet she doesn't tell us what those reforms were. That's because her reforms actually spiked crime in all probability. (Also notice how she blames the Covid lockdowns rather than her weak-as-water law enforcement policies.) Oh, I thought the Covid lockdowns were supposed to be the solution - seems they were a huge part of the problem after all.
While Bowser says she was not a defund-the-police advocate at minimum she was a Democrat and most of her party favored doing that.
It should be pointed out that ALL the major crime infections are in big cities run entirely by Democrats. You can't get around that; they are quite comfortable with violent crime as long as it serves their political ends.
Mayor Bowser may be relatively moderate in her approach to the police, but she's still a Democrat and she also doesn't want Donald Trump to profit at her expense. That is what is happening now and she knows it. So do the people "fact checking" Mr. Trump.
There is nothing to fact check, frankly. One wonders why these "fact checkers" didn't fact check Mayor Bowser first? Anybody?
What they fear, what the entire Democratic Party and their media allies fear more than anything, is Trump proving things like crime can be stopped just by enforcing the law. The Democrats have systematically dismantled the old order where we arrested, tried, and convicted criminals in favor of a soft approach using social workers and DEI (and many of these Democrats knew this wouldn't work but pushed it anyway because they wanted to do what Saul Alinsky suggested "rub raw the sores of discontent".) Trump is about to prove that crime, like so many other seemingly intractable problems, is actually easily fixed. So many of America's problems have been running rampant because the ruling class wanted them to do so. Trump is exposing the nudity of the emperor.
So they will fight him tooth and nail. Be prepared for a shooting in D.C. by a guardsman and an explosion comparing this to the Boston Massacre or My Lai in Vietnam.
That is the only hope the Donkeys have at this moment; they need a rallying point. I assure you they will creat4e one if they can't find one. Anyone remember Trayvon Martin? Mike Brown?
This is a model of the very things which have cost the Democrats. People are now wise to their gaslighting and hair-splitting. You'd think this "fact check" stupidity would be over now.

Fact Check: Trump's False Claims about Washington D.C.
Here are a few examples of the utter folly of what the Left is trying to do:
"However, if the numbers for the same year are compared to other major US cities, rather than US states, Washington, which currently has a population of around 684,000, is not the worst offender. Top of the chart, with homicide rates of more than 50 per 100,000 inhabitants, were the cities of New Orleans and St. Louis (Missouri), whose populations are only about half the size. Washington, D.C., is not actually a state, which makes the city comparison more apt.
Violent crime in Washington is down.

The article continues:
Trump also fails to mention in his statement that the homicide rate in Washington, D.C., has dropped significantly, from 39 per 100,000 in 2023 to 27 in 2024, which is the figure Trump is quoting. This puts Washington in fourth place in the most recent national statistics of cities with the most homicides per 100,000 residents.

The very appropriately named Muriel Bowser (man is SHE a dog), Mayor of Washington, ttried to claim it was all her doing:
"It is […] true that we experienced a crime spike post-COVID," she said. "But we worked quickly to put laws in place, and tactics, that got violent offenders off our streets and gave our police officers more tools. Which is why we have seen a huge decrease in crime, because of those efforts. We have been able to reverse that 2023 crime spike."
And yet she doesn't tell us what those reforms were. That's because her reforms actually spiked crime in all probability.
