Donald Trump has made a jaw-dropping move, sending the National Guard into Washington, DC to combat what he calls ‘violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals.’ Speaking at a press conference, he declared, ‘We are going to take our capital back,’ as federal forces hit the streets, leaving locals stunned.
This comes despite violent crime rates in DC dropping since their 2023 peak.
‘You don’t want to get mugged and raped and shot and killed,’ Trump told reporters, claiming they’re victims too.
Public reaction has been intense, with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson praising the move on social media, saying it’s ‘about time someone cleaned up DC.’
