Part 3/10:
Amid rising crime concerns, Donald Trump made headlines with his decisive move: deploying the National Guard to address what he labeled a crisis in Washington DC. Trump declared he was taking "historic action" to "rescue" the city from "bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor," vowing to "take our capital back." His intervention marks a notable departure from previous policies and reflects a tough-on-crime stance.
President Trump’s strategy was welcomed by some officials and observers, with reports indicating he gained control over the Metropolitan Police Department, a move that many see as an effort to reassert law and order. This decision has stirred discussions about safety, policing, and the federal government’s role in combatting crime.
