Donald Trump has sent the National Guard to police ‘lawless’ Washington DC, as crime levels hit a 30-year low – 27 votes of no confidence in the President

Some of the crimes I've seen in Washington DC:
— Beige sweater with beige chinos
— Jacket sleeve tag left on
— Tan shoes with navy suits
— Giant Windsor knots (triple felony with the metal sports watch paired with dark suit and French cuffs) pic.twitter.com/hbXJ1MEuKF— derek guy (@dieworkwear) August 11, 2025

Stop arguing over crime statistics.
Even if DC was in the grip of some sort of crime wave, these actions would still be brazen and authoritarian.
These are emergency powers. There is no emergency.

The craziest thing about Donald Trump deploying the national guard in Washington DC is that his name is all over the Epstein files and they’re still refusing to release them.

Sending the National Guard into DC because of crime — when crime is down 25% — is simply abuse of power to DISTRACT FROM EPSTEIN.
And where was the National Guard on Jan 6 when we truly had a crisis? pic.twitter.com/G7Ofv4c5wT

Washington DC is about to be Trump's authoritarian test case, to see how much he can get away with, how many people he can harm, how much he can shred the Constitution, and who will actually say or do anything to stop him. pic.twitter.com/RFFM7L5Kvg

The most interesting thing about crime in Washington DC being at a 30-year low point (not even in the top ten) is that trump is in the Epstein files.

The most important thing to know about Trump’s manufactured crisis in DC is that his administration is still covering up what’s in the Epstein files.

He did it. Washington DC is now, for all intents and purposes, the Kingdom of Trump.
His rules.
Madness. https://t.co/hCP6dfcZ5d pic.twitter.com/jQcIWblWAT

So Trump is building a castle in the White House, he's taken over the DC police force and has brought in the National Guard.
Americans: This is bad.
The rest of the world: This is what Hitler did.

If Trump truly wanted fewer criminals in DC, he’d leave.

This DC move is just the next step in his march for total control:
– Press
– Universities
– Lawyers
– Federal workforce
– Now, the citiesOh, and to distract from Jeffrey Epstein, of course.
You can't cut your way to safety.
Trump’s not fighting crime — he’s enabling it. https://t.co/pFKbUYnATi

Washington, DC — here’s what you can expect now that the president wants to cosplay as dictator in your city, too:
▪️Soldiers sitting around with nothing to do
▪️Lies from all levels of the federal government
▪️No meaningful impact

Once more for the people at the back.
The thing about Trump sending troops into DC is that he is still in the Epstein files. pic.twitter.com/WNrGz1ep2p
