Suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome is bad enough for Democrats, and a roadblock to even greater progress than Trump and his team are achieving on their own, but being against cleaning up the crime in our major cities is an embarrassment to the Party, and a dereliction of their duties. Next, they will be against apple pie and the American bald eagle. These people, the Democrat Party, have lost their collective minds and need to get back on the main track lest they see their Party spiral out of existence. Trump exercising his Constitutional authority to send troops into Washington, D.C. to clean up the out-of-control crime has the Left completely apoplectic and has them drawing comparisons between Trump and Hitler. Can these mental midgets be any more hyperbolic? I do not think so. Democrats are lazy and think that labeling every Trump initiative as Racist or Nazi is enough to win the argument. It no longer works, and these labels are old and dead. The problem is that Democrats have no second pitch.

Just like they are denying that they have already gerrymandered states like New York, Illinois, Maryland, and New Jersey to the point that they can no longer tweak the maps, they have cooked the numbers on crime so that they can lie to their constituents and convince them that they are safe. MSNBC interviewed Chuck Schumer to ask if he feels secure on the streets of D.C., and he obediently says, “Of course.” He feels perfectly safe on his morning walks, but what he doesn’t mention is that he’s accompanied by a Secret Service detail. The good people of D.C. walk alone and do not enjoy their walks, as their heads are spinning, watching out for danger. Ask Senator Markwayne Mullin (D-OK) the same question, and he tells you that when he drives through D.C., he does not wear his seatbelt because it will prevent him from exiting the car if carjacked. Does that sound safe and secure to you?

When anyone asks the everyday citizens of D.C., the answers are quite different than those of the Democrats. They all have stories of people in their circle who have been victims of crime, or even themselves, and they are glad that President Trump is taking action to do what their Democrat reps could not. They are not calling the President a Nazi or a dictator. They call him their President, and he cares about them and their families. It does not matter that D.C. will never support him or any Republican. They are Americans in need, he can help, and he will, because that is what he does. Trump identifies problems at every level, outlines potential solutions, and implements a plan. The Democrats confuse someone in Washington doing something as authoritarian. It is actually good management.

Democrats are employing the tree in the forest approach to crime. If it is not reported, if police do not respond to it, if no one is charged with it, or if we just eliminate the law from the books, then it didn’t happen. Doesn’t that approach make everyone warm and fuzzy about living in or visiting America’s big cities? It does the same for Karen Bass and Chuck Schumer, which is why their political careers are coming to an end.
