Trumpâs National Guard Squad: Crime Fighters or Extra Crowd Control?
In a dramatic plot twist that feels like a mashup of a Marvel movie and taxpayer-funded reality TV, President Trump sent 800 National Guard troops and 850 law enforcement officers to D.C. for a 'massive law enforcement surge.' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt promised, 'This is only the beginning,' pledging to 'relentlessly pursue and arrest every violent criminal' while the city protests, claiming crime rates actually have fallen. Meanwhile, locals took to social media and streets to counter-punch the administrationâs crime stats, turning D.C. into the Constitution's latest action drama with 'Free DC' protests and a 30-day law enforcement sagaâno Netflix subscription needed.

Trump sending the National Guard to D.C. because crimeâs sooo highâeven though everyone else says itâs notâis basically ordering pizza because youâre *craving* chaos. Spoiler: The pizza and protests both arrive spicy and unsolicited.
If deploying 800 troops and 850 cops to D.C. was a Zoom meeting, itâd be called 'How to Overdo a Crime Wave That Doesnât Exist.' RSVP: Local protesters with signs.
Trumpâs crime crackdown is so cool, the city threw protests just to RSVP. Itâs like throwing a party because your invite said 'danger zones.' Spoiler: The only danger is bad PR.
