Many on this thread believed the fake doctored numbers put out by DC police were real ! What is the problem now that many who actually live there are thankful to Trump for the drop in crime they have noticed? It must be so very discouraging to some that Trump is actually making a real POSITIVE difference in this country while the Democrats in political positions implode. The union chief of police exposed how statistics were doctored to make it seem crime was so much improved when actually it was not.

Since union chief of police has exposed the DC police for inaccurate crime reporting what makes your claim real or believable?
The final retreat from facts; "They are lying!! All of them are lying!!" It's extremely hard to hide homicides, since the recording is not under the control of the police. Even if police officers were covering up homicides, civilian authorities would still be involved and keep records.

And given the history of lies from the Trump administration, why should anyone believe them? After they first claimed the Epstein files were in their possession, and then declared the files never existed, no one with any sense believes anything they say without external confirmation.

Defense Secretary Hegseth authorizes National Guard troops to carry arms in DC

The new authority is expected to be acted on in coming days, the person said.

"You got to be strong, you got to be tough," Trump told Guard personnel at the U.S. Park Police Anacostia Operations Facility. "You got to do your job. Whatever it takes to do your job."

“You do the job on safety, and I'll get this place fixed up physically, and we're going to be so proud of it at the end of six months,” he said.

“But let's say at the end of the year, this place will be maxed out in terms of beauty. You'll have all new surfaces. You'll have all new medians, everything's going to look beautiful,” he added.

The question I have, after standing guard duty in a wartime situation, is will they be issued ammunition? Carrying an empty weapon is not much of a threat and I had to stand guard, on an army base, with the ammo in a lead sealed canister.

Great Job! Simple defense .
Sadly, that's the best they can do. When all the facts are against them, all they have left is to call the facts "lies."

They are all lying , great investigative work.
For Trump and his followers no facts needed.

That's not something that happens overnight.

"Let's get 2000 National Guard troops into DC right away!"

"Yes sir! Done, sir!"

"Good! Are they armed?"

"Oh...did you want them to be armed? Umm. Most of the troops we rushed into the city were support troops, because that's mostly what we have...they aren't currently qualified to carry arms. That's going to take a while. We'll have to swap out the ones we have there now for troops who are currently qualified."
