Trump says DC is now 'crime free.' It had 400 reported incidents in the last week
https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-dc-crime-free-mayor-bowser-b2818073.htmlTrump began his so-called crime crackdown in D.C. on 11 August, sending National Guard and federal agents into the capital’s streets
In a spree of Truth Social posts on Labor Day, President Donald Trump declared Washington, D.C., a “crime free zone” following his National Guard takeover of the capital.
Trump also specifically praised Mayor Muriel Bowser, claiming she had “become very popular because she worked with me and my great people in bringing CRIME down to virtually NOTHING.”
However, available crime statistics from D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department show 442 crimes reported in the district over the past seven days.
These include 50 reports of violent crime: one homicide, 23 instances of assault with a dangerous weapon, 24 robberies, and two cases of sex abuse. Nearly 250 thefts were also reported over the past week.

Just today he said there was no crime, no murders, no nothing in DC. He's too stupid to realize that Washington DC Police will still have records of actual crimes.
