Trump Declares D.C. “Crime-Free Zone,” Urges Leftist Mayors To Join Him On Restoring Law & Order

On Sunday, President Donald Trump declared on Truth Social that Washington, D.C., had become a “crime-free zone” in just a matter of weeks. This follows years of failed social-justice policies that backfired and ignited a violent crime tsunami across the nation’s capital and just north in still crime-ridden Baltimore City. 

Fast-forward to Monday morning, Trump praised Mayor Muriel Bowser on his Truth Social platform for working with his administration to reduce violent crime, claiming that “crime is down to virtually NOTHING in D.C.”

However, Trump blasted leftist mayors in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Baltimore, who, according to the president, are resisting assistance from the White House to clean up violent crime spurred by years of toxic social justice policies. He said that officials in these progressive towns are “justifying crime instead of eliminating it. “ 

Here’s the Truth Social Post from earlier:

Wow! Mayor Muriel Bowser of D.C. has become very popular because she worked with me and my great people in bringing CRIME down to virtually NOTHING in D.C.

Her statements and actions were positive, instead of others like Pritzker, Wes Moore, Newscum, and the 5% approval rated Mayor of Chicago, who spend all of their time trying to justify violent Crime, instead of working with us to completely ELIMINATE it, which we have done in Washington, D.C.,  NOW A CRIME FREE ZONE.

Wouldn’t it be nice to say that about Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and even the Crime Drenched City of Baltimore??? It can happen, and it can happen FAST! Work with us!!!

Mayor Bowser’s ratings have gone up, in a short period of time, 25%, and the people of D.C. are thanking her for stopping crime wherever she goes. It’s not a miracle, it’s hard work, courage, and being SMART.

The top Law Enforcement Officer in L.A. said, during the riots, and when I sent the troops in early, that they couldn’t have done it without us. They were completely overwhelmed! If we hadn’t gone in early, on top of the Palisades plus fires, L.A. would have lost the Olympics. Congratulations to Mayor Muriel Bowser, but don’t go Woke on us. D.C. is a GIANT VICTORY that never has to end!!!

And this. 

On this Labor Day, we honor the men and women in law enforcement who work tirelessly day and night to keep our communities safe.

Last week, radical leftist Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order restricting city authorities from cooperating with the federal government, including National Guard troops. Apparently, Johnson doesn’t want to address years of failed progressive policies, police defunding, and other missteps that have left parts of the imploding metro area resembling a “war zone” because optics here would be terrible for Democrats.

The common denominator among leftist mayors resisting and denying federal assistance to clean up crime-ridden metro areas is that accepting help would amount to admitting their so-called progressive utopias have entirely failed.

Many based Americans already recognize that Democratic leadership across many cities has been nothing short of disastrous, which leaves some wondering if social-justice policies were likely never designed to work, but rather to destroy.

The failures are most across progressive cities…

Democrat-run cities are plagued with crime because they choose to let it happen. It’s not an accident—it’s a masterclass in failure.@PressSec drops the truth, WATCH pic.twitter.com/f9uePDl9zn

Everyone knows that the ‘defund the police’ agenda pushed by Marxist BLM was a disaster.

It’s not a mystery why Baltimore is resisting help. Gov. Wes Moore and …
