Trump deploys 800 National Guard troops to DC to crack down on crime
President Donald Trump on Monday announced he is ordering 800 D.C. National Guard troops to deploy throughout the city in an effort to crack down on crime in the nation’s capital.“We’re taking our capital back,” he said during a news conference at the White House. “We’re taking it back.”<
Trump also said the federal government would take control of Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department, and “we will bring in the military if needed.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also attended the briefing and said the D.C. National Guard will be “flowing into the streets of Washington in the coming week.”
The DC Police Union, representing over 3,000 officers of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), today acknowledges and supports the President’s announcement this morning to assume temporary control of the MPD in response to the escalating crime crisis in Washington, DC. The Union agrees that crime is spiraling out of control, and immediate action is necessary to restore public safety.
Of course, Democrat Muriel Bowser, mayor, was against it and said crime was down since 2023...tsk, tsk.

By deploying the military to multiple cities, shaking down law firms and universities, and seizing control of the American chip industry, Donald Trump has brought his brash New York style to staid Washington, DC.
Bravo Trump! MAGA!
Hey anonymous who tried to come over here and insult me--I think it is you that needs the education. The Capitol of the United States is spelled CAPITOL. Look it up and get back.
