President Donald Trump has threatened to deploy the National Guard to Chicago, New York, Seattle, Baltimore, San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, to fight what he says is runaway crime. Yet data shows most violent crime in those places and around the country has declined in recent years.
Homicides through the first six months of 2025 were down significantly compared to the same period in 2024, continuing a post-pandemic trend across the U.S.
That’s because gasp the crime stats have never mattered, and it was never about crime.
Nope, it’s always been about excuses to be racist.
And the need for distractions.
Will having more troops in more cities make the Epstein files turn up faster?
Trump tells obvious lies about the intentions, the news salivates thinking it’ll generate lots of clicks, rinse and repeat
More US cities need to start taking up arms against the Nazis coming to occupy them. Can a few civilians do squat against the military? Head on, no. But guerrilla tactics work wonders against shitheads like this.
What do crime stats have to do with it? This is about TV footage of guns being pointed at black and brown people.
Like the TV footage in the early 1960s of southern pig cops turning firehoses on women and children.
It would be funny if there was a reporter with a backbone who would look at the list of cities Trump wants to deploy troops to, and then ask him how many more American cities Trump can name.
Because i have a feeling that his handlers chose him this set of cities because they’re the ones he can remember.
Better yet, somebody should challenge him to a spelling contest.
America suggests that Trump needs more strokes.
Sure bring them to Baltimore they can fix up houses so people have places to live.
I feel like if he died crime would plummet
