    It was never about ‘millians’ pouring in…
    never about inflation…
    never about debt…
    Never about the economy.

    And now…
    it’s not even about crime.

    Stories change .. prejudices stay the same!!

    Lol. My hometown. You aren’t safe in Anacostia, definitely not at night. I know parts of Capitol hill you wouldn’t travel on foot at night. The mall and dupont and Georgetown etc have never been where the major violent crime problems are. DC is a very rough city. Obviously, the downtown government buildings, the Smithsonian, the kennedy center, and other high traffic tourist areas like the ones you mentioned aren’t the parts of the city that made it the murder capital of the country (and world for a few years) for so many years.

    No, it really is about crime. DC has very high crime. Trump is trying to reduce it.


    GOOD DAY

    I wonder how many people on here go around Houston shaking like a b*tch because of all the “violent crime”

    We need to be consistent in using absolute or relative terms. Otherwise it will just be Trump talk.

    reducing crime requires a plan, not knee jerk reaction. I don’t see a man with a plan

    I see a high crime city. "The plan" cannot be to pursue the status quo... which clearly has failed. Did you SEE the head of police for DC? She was deer in the headlights and didn't even know what chain of command meant. That cannot be the plan.

    Dedicating more resources to support the policing effort is at least a new approach. Changing leadership is a new approach. Both are superior alternatives to continuing on a path that put DC as the highest murder/violent crime "state" in the union... Obviously something needs to change. Our nation's capital shouldn't look like 1993 Mogadishu.


    GOOD DAY

    Nor our president act like Xi or Putin …

    the selectiveness of these actions cannot be ignored.

    Did you call the governors of Kentucky, Minnesota, New York, New Mexico, and Texas by the same Xi and Putin taunts when they called in the National Guard to assist with policing in their states over the last 5 years?

    Or since it's Trump, then we automatically (knee jerk) jump to the Xi/Putin attack line...
