Democrats’ head-scratching reaction to Trump’s DC – Latest News
The unhinged hostility to Donald Trump’s profitable crime crackdown in Washington, DC, places Democrats inexplicably on the incorrect facet of their own voters. What on earth are they pondering?
Law and order is sort of actually an 80-20 difficulty. You don’t need a pollster to say so, however 81% of Americans of all political persuasions say crime is a “major problem,” in accordance to a new AP-NORC ballot launched final week.
The different 19% have to be both criminals or blue metropolis politicians — or each.
The president’s approval ranking has shot up from 40% in July to 45%, seemingly as a outcome of his deployment of the National Guard to DC and his promise to replicate the model in crime-ridden cities from Chicago to Baltimore and New York.
In DC, the crime fee has plummeted throughout the board, with violent crime down 30% since federal troops had been deployed on Aug. 7, in accordance to the White House.
The Metropolitan Police Department is even more bullish, citing a 40% drop in violent crime over the identical period final yr. That consists of carjacking, which dropped a staggering 82%.
Attorney General Pam Bondi tweeted new crime statistics for DC on Sunday, boasting of 1,528 arrests, together with 156 unlawful weapons seized.
“This includes two arrests for threats against law enforcement, an arrest for assault on federal officers with threats to kill President Trump, and an illegal alien MS-13 gang member,” she mentioned.
Nearly half of the arrests have been of unlawful migrant criminals, together with violent felons convicted of rape, youngster molestation, assault, and theft with a lethal weapon.
DC residents, most of whom are black, are expressing reduction at having the ability to stay with out concern of being robbed or assaulted.
Yet Democrat shills are throughout CNN and MSNBC calling Trump a “dictator,” and saying his crackdown on “so-called crime” is racist, and a “military occupation.”
Bondi has even had to fire two of her own — lefty DOJ workers who’ve hurled abuse, and a sandwich, at federal officers who’re bringing order to DC.
Elizabeth Baxter was the most recent lefty DOJ paralegal to shame herself by flipping the chook on the National Guard and boasting about it to a security guard when she arrived at work on the DOJ’s “4CON” building, whereas recreating her obscene hand gestures and phrases, “F–k the National Guard,” which had been caught on a surveillance digital camera and led to her ouster.
Baxter joined the unemployment line alongside her fellow paralegal Sean Charles Dunn, who was so enraged about Trump cleansing up town he lives in that he allegedly threw a Subway sandwich at a Border Protection officer and has been charged with assault.
The hostility runs deep in a celebration that has made defunding police an article of religion.
Setting a ‘trap’
During a three-hour Cabinet assembly final week, the president trolled his political opponents in regards to the “trap” they’ve landed themselves in when it comes to public security.
“I think it’s going to be a big, big subject for the midterms, and I think the Republicans are going to do really well,” he mentioned. “This Democrat consultant said, ‘He’s put them in a trap again,’ because these are all traps, you know, 80:20 [issues]. They’re almost a hundred to nothing.”
He then vowed to broaden the model to different blue cities like Chicago and Baltimore, which he known as a “hellhole. In New York it’s out of control [but] Chicago is the worse.”
“I hope that Illinois, I hope that New York, I hope that California, I hope they call me and they say, ‘I’d love to have you come in and help us out. I will be a totally different person with them,” he mentioned.
In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom has seen the writing on the wall, and as an alternative of the humiliation of Trump’s troops doing what he ought to have carried out long in the past, he’s launched his own crime crackdown.
That could be the perfect state of affairs, if Democrat governors and mayors would solely crack down on crime themselves, as an alternative of staging a political battle with Trump that they’re destined to lose.
When requested by a reporter if he would contemplate sending the National Guard into pink cities which can be “also seeing high crime,” Trump replied: “Sure, but there aren’t that many of them. If you look at the top 25 cities for crime, just about every one of those cities is run by Democrats.”
Cue apoplexy from MSNBC, however he’s spot on.
If something, he understated the issue, judging by a 2022 report by the Heritage Foundation titled “The Blue City Murder Problem,” which discovered that 27 of the highest 30 cities with the best murder charges had been run by Democrats.
The authors cite Democrat prison justice “reforms” resembling defunding the police, ending money bail, refusing to prosecute misdemeanors (as New York’s far left mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has promised to do), letting 1000’s of convicted felons out of jail early and slashing the jail population, as being among the many most blatant contributors to escalating violent crime issues in blue cities.
The decriminalization of pot and public urination has turbocharged the sense of chaos and dysfunction in cities like New York and led to a feeling of lawlessness that encourages crime. It is reverse Broken Windows.

Mamdani now plans to pour fuel on the fire along with his coverage to make New York a double sanctuary metropolis for unlawful aliens and transgenderism, mirroring the catastrophic soft-on-crime insurance policies of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
New York is unhealthy enough as a sanctuary metropolis, however Mamdani needs to make it worse.
He needs to ban ICE from eradicating violent criminals and predators, and he needs to spend thousands and thousands of taxpayer {dollars} to create more “LGBTQIA+ Liaisons” in colleges to brainwash more youngsters that they’re trapped within the physique of the alternative intercourse. He additionally needs to codify transgender tips to power women to share loos with organic males.
What NYC needs
Mamdani is on the incorrect facet of historical past and recklessly exploiting a tinderbox social difficulty for base political revenue.
The “transing the kids” fad is over, but he’s making an attempt to breathe new life into it.
A majority of states now bans “gender affirming care” for minors, recognizing what a disaster it has been. The Supreme Court has upheld the bans, detransitioners are suing gender clinics, sports activities associations are ruling that organic males can’t compete in opposition to ladies.
It’s over, and the crucial now could be to help present acceptable mental health providers to troubled kids that don’t place them on the trail to hormones and surgical mutilation.
Mamdani’s recipe for New Yorkers is just not what we would like, so we’d higher make sure in November to vote like our lives rely on it — as a result of they do.
Sisters and judgers
Lucky for her, embattled Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook is having her legal motion being determined by a choose who’s her sorority sister. If that’s not a battle of curiosity, nothing is.
President Trump fired Cook “for cause” after Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte accused her of a number of situations of mortgage fraud, however she is refusing to clear her desk.
Delta Sigma Theta, the traditionally black sorority to which each Cook and DC District Judge Jia Cobb belong, fosters lifelong sisterhood and assist. To underline that bond, the sorority’s “international president” Cheryl Turner issued a assertion titled “Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated Stands with Dr. Lisa D. Cook.”
Despite the evident moral points, it’s unlikely that Cobb will probably be faraway from the case as a result of her boss, the chief choose, is none different than Trump-hating meddler James Boasberg.
