Any objective observer can see they're comparable.

But then why do you think that?

Lol!

God put him in power absolutely.

But I don't see how a thinking christian can look at what's going on and think he installed Trump to save you guys.

There is no guarantee he gave Trump power for a good outcome for the us.

Think what? That just like Newsome cleared out the homeless encampments to make San Francisco presentable, Trump is clearing out homeless encampments to make DC presentable? What's not objective about that?

lol , really? God allowed the last White House occupant to wake up this nation. Obviously to great success. The Democrat party is in complete shambles, no message other than gloom and doom. Many of the liberal hero’s under investigation, with grand juries and probable indictments. Panic prevails throughout the party. It is sad to watch the Trump haters go ballistic in desperate attempts to malign and discredit Trump. When will the liberals learn. Ever since Trump walked down the escalator he has been impeached, dragged into multiple courts, lied about in every way imaginable. Accused of collusion with Russia, hindered by radical judges, sued , shot , and threatened by citizens and insane politicians. BUT Trump is still standing and having great success on multiple fronts. What human being could withstand this type of attack without support from God Almighty?

I've mentioned before that when I lived in DC, it was drenched in crime. Someone was shot every single day, with an extra on weekends. I myself was mugged at gunpoint twice in 72 hours...and almost shot the second time.

People will point to DC's crime statistics going down over the last few years, but if you live there you might not feel that.

However....

...militarizing the streets doesn't solve the problem.

The prosecution and punishment side of the justice system has not changed under Trump’s emergency order.

Trump’s move is focused on policing: Who controls the D.C. police, whether the National Guard and federal agents supplement patrols, and how encampments and street crime are handled. It’s about who has authority to detain and make arrests, not about what happens after.

Trials still go through the DC courts. Judges and sentencing rules remain the same. Incarceration is still managed by the D.C. Department of Corrections (for local jails) and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (for long-term sentences). No new prisons or punishment systems are being created under this plan.

All of those systems are already strained. More policing will just strain them more.

If all happens is more policing on the street, there isn't actually “more justice,” just more strain and dysfunction.

The U.S. Attorney for D.C. already struggles with caseloads. They're already dropping many misdemeanors or lower felonies due to resource limits.

If arrests surge but prosecutors can’t expand capacity, more cases will either get dismissed outright, or never be charged. That's going to lead to a “revolving door” effect: more arrests, same number of prosecutions. And criminals will figure that out real quick.

...and when Trump has moved on to target some other blue state city, D.C. residents will continue to live in a city that is underfunded and under-represented.

West Virginia, South Carolina, Ohio to deploy National Guard troops to D.C.
Three states moved to deploy hundreds of members of their National Guard to the nation's capital as part of the Trump administration's effort to overhaul policing in Washington through a federal crackdown on crime and homelessness.

Mississippi has also joined the party. Guardsman may be issued firearms.

Trump adds firepower to National Guard presence in DC

The roughly 800 D.C. National Guard troops already deployed in the capital will be joined by about 200 personnel from Mississippi, between 300 and 400 from West Virginia, 150 from Ohio and 200 from South Carolina, beefing up a presence that has largely stood idle around typically low-crime, tourist-heavy areas in the city.

So far, the guard members in Washington have assisted law enforcement with crowd control and patrolling typically low-crime areas such as landmarks, including the National Mall, Lincoln Memorial and Union Station.

Initial deployment orders stipulated that the troops would wear body armor but they would not be armed or even have their weapons in their vehicles, according to an Army statement released Thursday.

The White House said in a statement Saturday, however, that the National Guard troops “may be armed, consistent with their mission and training, to protect federal assets, provide a safe environment for law enforcement officers to make arrests, and deter violent crime with a visible law enforcement presence.”

Trump seems to think that the damage he's taking is less than he'd take if he came clean.

Inference from behavior. Maybe it doesn't translate so well in your language.

It doesn't make any difference on CF, so there's no reason to keep bring it up here all the time.

If 2/3 of the American people think their president is hiding evidence about a pedophile group, that's newsworthy.

I haven’t confused you at all. I believe I did point out your incessant hatred of Trump.

You seem to have confused yourself. And I don't hate people. I hope that Trump does come to repentance before he dies. Without that, he's lost.

God didn't vote last election. A majority of Americans put him where He is.

Argue your case with God that we should have Kamala right now to lead us into assured self destruction.

Arguing that at least she's not a sexual predator and a convicted criminal seems like a bar too low for me. Sorry.

*a plurality of voters did. Current polls show he’s at about 40% approval and 55% disapproval.

So you have judged him currently lost! That is a bit above your pay grade don’t you think?

So you're going to derail any thread not about Epstein because they're all deflections. Got it. You're a man on a mission. If you can get people talking about Epstein in numerous threads, that will supposedly achieve getting the files released.

Mostly, I'm responding to what others say. And no, I don't think Trump is going to come clean about the files. Apparently for reasons most Americans already suspect.

Well, yes. But he got the most votes. And yes, a lot of voters are now regretting their choices.

Investigations are one thing, and convictions are another. Trump is a felon.

Nobody forced Trump to commit fraud and rape.

Who lied about Trump?

Trump colluded with Russia.

Sued and lost.

Never happened.

Trump says he's never asked God for forgiveness. Go check what God has to say about that. It matters.

When did he say that? I know he did, but when was it? You have insight into his current standing with God exactly how?

Just like with the Epstein coverup, it’s important to counter this administration’s constant lies of a public mandate that Trump be allowed to force through his unpopular agenda by any means possible.
