Because the mayors have been inadequate to get crime under control in their cities.

The Mayor and Chief of Police are quite capable of handling the LOW crime rate in D.C.

Other than the GOP, crime in DC has already gone down.

Once again the president is fabricating an emergency to expand his power when all evidence point to the contrary. D.C. is at its lowest crime rate in 30 years there is no emergency that warrants the mobilization of the national guard.

It's just one more step toward martial law and autocracy. Elections and democracy may be a thing of the past here in America.

Another distraction from the Epstein files. Release the files. DC crime rate at a 30 year low. What happened on Jan6 when tRump said he didn’t have the authority to call in the National Guard and blamed the Dems? No peace for tRump until he releases the files.

This is an escalation of implementing Project 2025... start taking over the blue cities and turn them into police states.

DC doesn't need or want intervention. We are not Russia, China, or North Korea. We don't want a heartless dictator or king. Our nation should truly be the land of opportunity.

He is criminalizing homelessness, which should not be a crime. This is the move of an authoritarian wannabe dictator. American military are not and should not be a police force. This is a half-step from groups like the Gestapo and brown shirts.

No need for them, crime is down in DC and homeless is not hurting nobody. He didn't do this when his fan base was wrecking the capitol

Crime is down for those who need crime to be down. Crime is up for those who need crime to be up. Find a different argument.

President Trump should be supporting local enforcement, not using the national guard to give out parking tickets.

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.

Not seeing very good returns on the 5 day schedule. Are we sure 4 days are the answer. Dropping standards is never an option. You soften standards on discipline and look where it has got you. Do the hard right over the easy wrong.

One full day, for the kids to be unsupervised, in most cases, spells DANGER for them, but if it's good for the teachers, then let's do it. Teachers Unions have been so good, for so for so long, for everyone, but the children, and their parents....
