President Trump was mortified over the state of our nation’s capital when he returned to office in January 2025. He was determined to restore the city in time for the country’s 250th birthday party. One big decision was to bring in the National Guard to help the D.C. police on the streets. This was particularly urgent after it was discovered that top police officials were lying about the city’s crime statistics to make it look like crime was going down. It wasn’t. Of course, Washington’s leftists screamed that they were living in “Hitler’s totalitarian Germany.” Don’t forget that when he held a parade for the Army’s 250th birthday, leftist leaders cried that it reminded them of Tiananmen Square—as if Trump was going to order tanks to run over liberals. It’s been a year since President Trump deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C., and the results are truly amazing.
