Part 11/13:
A significant portion of Trump’s address focused on his efforts to combat crime in Washington, D.C. He pointed to successful initiatives that involved deploying the National Guard alongside police forces, which led to a dramatic decrease in violent crimes, including murders. The stark contrast before and after intervention was striking, with Trump stating that for the first time in recent memory, there had been a full week without any murders.
He expressed confidence that continued investment and law enforcement efforts would further demolish criminal networks, especially targeting career criminals who pose persistent threats to public safety. He urged local officials to recognize the progress and support initiatives that keep the city safe and attractive for families and tourists.
