[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m laughing a bit. Under Trump, DC became incredibly unsafe. Particularly on Jan 6. 
I think you can see things get less safe, I would expect some capitol police to quit rather than work near his White House. [/quote]

That's objectively untrue though. Crime was relatively low in the 2010s. After covid eroded social norms and progressives became convinced that prosecuting crime is racist, violence exploded. Matthew Graves has gotten better but he only prosecuted 33% of crimes in 2023. Crime and anti-social behavior are worse now than under Trump.[/quote]

+ a million.

Murders in 2019 were 150 or so, last year it was nearly double.[/quote]

There were 116 in 2017, Trump's first full year. I thought he was tough on crime?[/quote]

Trump had increasing murders in DC EVERY YEAR he was President and his appointees ran the USAO:
2017: 116
2018: 160
2019: 164
2020: 200

Crime literally went up the entire time Trump was President when his prosecutors and judges were running the show. [/quote]

The office is staffed by DOJ and judges are appointed for long terms, only the USA is a current Presidential appointee.[/quote]

So this federal judicial staff, which was here under Trump, is causing the problem and posters are blaming the District of Columbia? And thinking Trump will fix it this time?[/quote]
