Irreconcilable differences on certain issues aside, one where we wholeheartedly agree is how he fights crime. His National Guard deployments in DC, Memphis, Tennessee and New Orleans, Louisiana have yielded impressive results, with District of Columbia numbers the most impressive of all:
Trump's crime crackdown credited for historic drop in DC murder rates
Protecting lives from violent community treason is the ultimate measure of a politician. We who value safety are devalued in jurisdictions where statistics are fudged to artificially reduce numbers.
We're told in so many words not to believe our 'lying eyes'. That has consequences at the polls.
Federalized state troops supplemented by agents surged from federal agencies is real crime fighting. First-person accounts of safety returned to unsafe areas are metrics we value.
This Memphis resident says she’s grateful to Trump for sending the National Guard to help with crime, and she’s never felt safer. (Facebook).
This year we can either choose Democrats essentially saying 'we like our crime the way it is' or Republicans who've backed taking the fight to pampered criminals. It's not a matter of liking particular politicians or parties.
It is one of liking results.
I have always felt the National Guard should be used for crime suppression. Advocating in places filled with too many traitors to safety led to this conclusion.
People are tired of feeling like hostages in their neighborhoods. Or being treated like second-class citizens whose crime concerns are dismissed.
Independents feeling this way will likely swing their vote toward the GOP.
Democrats had every opportunity to actively pursue gangs and repeat offenders but chose not to. They may pay a costly political price for their inaction.
