He is doing it again, he tried it in Los Angeles and was pushed back. He was swamped with No King protests and changed the subject, deflection 101. He let it cool down. You have to remember that Trump relies on the proven two week rule. That we have an attention span that’s less than two weeks, and we are stupid.
Trump has repeatedly declared he is the smartest man in the room and in his words. “They don’t know what the fuck they are doing” and you thought he was talking about the Middle East.
It’s time to get those no king signs out of the garage or trash because it has just begun again and he isn’t going to stop trying.
Let me ask you one question, “What idiot would spend two hundred million dollars to add a Ball Room nobody else wants if he wasn’t planning on using it for a long, long, time?”
What is to be talked about in a moment should have just a little preface.
What the Data Tells Us About Washington DC
Crime Is Actually Falling
Violent crime in D.C. is down significantly:
26% drop in 2025 compared to last year
12% decline in homicides, 29% drop in robberies
The city hit a 30-year low in violent crime in 2024 (The Biden Administration)
What’s Trump Saying and Proposing
Federal Takeover Talk …
Trump has publicly threatened to federalize D.C.—essentially overriding the Home Rule Act if city authorities don’t get crime under control. He’s exploring whether Congress could revoke local autonomy
National Guard & Police Control …
He has floated deploying the National Guard, potentially taking control of D.C.’s police force, and even sending homeless individuals out of the city. Flyers on Truth Social warn of making the city “safe” by replacing local with federal order
Crime Surge Claims …
Trump framed the city as being “out of control,” referencing a high-profile attempted carjacking of Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, to justify his hardline approach.
Now to repeat the preface.

Violent crime in D.C. is down significantly:
26% drop in 2025 compared to last year
12% decline in homicides, 29% drop in robberies
The city hit a 30-year low in violent crime in 2024
Local Officials Push Back
Mayor Muriel Bowser rejects the narrative of rising crime. She’s implemented youth curfews, and critics warn that Trump’s approach risks eroding democratic governance, not improving safety.
What’s Actually Happening On the Ground
Federal Law Enforcement Surge
The White House has ordered a weeklong deployment of federal officers from over a dozen agencies—including the FBI, ATF, DEA, and Capitol Police—in “high-traffic tourist areas” of the city
Minimal Visible Impact So Far
Early observations found little overt difference from usual policing levels. However, one report indicates 450 federal officers were active on a recent Saturday night, though city police say the situation remains stable.
Bottom Line
While Trump is ramping up rhetoric around an alleged crime wave in D.C., the actual numbers tell a different story: crime rates are falling, not rising. His push for federal control—via the National Guard, eviction of homeless camps, and taking over local policing—appears to be a power play rather than an urgent safety measure. Whether Congress or courts would allow such actions remains highly uncertain.
So back to Martial Law, Washington DC is not a State and it has considerably less control over actions that can be taken by Trump, But what Washington D.C. does have, is us. The people of the United States of America. Don’t just sit there and say that this is their problem because it is a problem for all of us.
We stopped him in Los Angeles, we need to stop him in Washington D.C. Oh, hell, we just need to stop him.
