Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser admitted that Donald Trump’s effort to stop crime in Washington, D.C. is working.
She said, “We know that we have had fewer gun crimes, fewer homicides, and we have experienced an extreme reduction in carjackings.”
At the briefing, Bowser displayed a chart crediting the influx of FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Park Police and Capitol Police with bolstering MPD’s efforts and declared, “We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city.”
She pointed to one dramatic example, saying, “For carjackings, the difference between this period, this 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents an 87% reduction in carjackings in Washington, D.C. We know that when carjackings go down, when use of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer. So, this surge has been important to us for that reason.”
Bowser offered further examples of Trump’s new surge driving results.
“This is what we think in just a couple of weeks of experience has worked,” she said. “Having more federal law enforcement officers on the street — we think having more stops that got to illegal guns has helped. We think that there is more accountability in the system, or at least perceived accountability in the system, that is driving down illegal behavior. We know that we have had fewer gun crimes, fewer homicides, and we have experienced an extreme reduction in carjackings.”
Bowser said she spoke to Trump on Wednesday.
Bowser said she spoke to Trump on Wednesday afternoon, though she declined to provide details of their discussion and said the meeting was a “courtesy.”
“I was reminded of our first meeting after his re-election, where we discussed shared priorities for the district,” she said. “There, I was reminded that the president’s interest in cities predates his time in office, and his knowledge of D.C. had significantly increased from the first time he was in the White House.”
Asked what assurance she received that Trump won’t try to go beyond the surge’s 30-day period, Bowser said, “That was not something that I discussed with the president.”
Trump was right again!
