For weeks, the fake news media and the radical Democrats have been screaming that President Trump’s tough-on-crime crackdown in Washington D.C. is “authoritarian” and unpopular. But what do the actual American people think?
A brand new AP-NORC poll just dropped, and it is a complete and total vindication of President Trump’s law-and-order agenda.
The American people have spoken, and the verdict is clear: they are sick of the crime wave that Democrats have unleashed on our cities, and they overwhelmingly approve of President Trump’s decisive actions to stop it.
The Silent Majority Roars
The poll numbers are a complete nightmare for the soft-on-crime left.
- A massive 81% of Americans agree that crime is a “major issue” in our country. This isn’t a partisan issue – it includes 96% of Republicans, 72% of Independents, and even 68% of Democrats.
- A clear majority – 53% of Americans – approve of the tough methods President Trump is using to combat crime.
While the Democrats in D.C. cry about losing their “autonomy,” the rest of America is cheering for the return of sanity and safety.
The Human Cost of Democrat Failure
If you want to know why Americans are so fed up, you don’t need to look any further than the heartbreaking stories of the victims of D.C.’s crime wave.
Reporter Iris Tao, who was pistol-whipped by a robber, personally thanked the President during a cabinet meeting, saying,
“Mr. President, thank you so much for what you’re doing right now.”
Former reporter Anna Giaritelli told the story of how she was sexually abused by a homeless man who turned out to be a repeat offender that a soft-on-crime judge kept releasing back onto the streets.
This is the reality that the Democrats’ policies have created. This is why President Trump’s intervention was not just a good idea, but an absolute necessity.
The Cops Agree: Trump’s Takeover was ‘Necessary’
The most powerful endorsement of the President’s actions has come from the people who know the streets best: the police.
Gregg Pemberton, the chairman of the D.C. Police Union, called President Trump’s takeover a “drastic but necessary step.” He placed the blame for the city’s “free fall” squarely on the D.C. Council and its “reactionary anti-police thinking.”
When the cops on the ground are thanking the President for stepping in to overrule their own city’s politicians, you know who is truly on the side of law and order.
Promises Kept, A City Made Safe
The results speak for themselves. In the weeks since the federal crackdown began, D.C. went 12 days without a homicide, and over 1,100 arrests have been made.
President Trump’s policies don’t just poll well – they work. He promised to restore law and order to our nation, and he is starting with our capital city. The American people see it, they support it, and they are grateful to finally have a President who is willing to fight for their safety.
