Of course they should. Crime has gotten out of control in this country. Anyone that commits any type of crime and is not warranted should be airlifted to shark or alligator infected waters and dropped from a helicopter. That will solve the problem really fast. Guaranteed.

It is the NATIONAL Guard, not the police. We do not need military forces in our city and Trump is overstepping.

The National Guard protects the nation when local law enforcement can't or won't.

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.

Normalizing the presence of military personnel in the streets of American cities is a big step toward fascism.

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

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

Yes, because I have no reason to second guess the views of at least 12 jury people that saw and heard all of the evidence while I have only been exposed to the views of journalists. We know how reliable journalists can be. Reply
