DC is murder-free thanks to Trump — but his haters won’t accept reality
Democrats are still in denial about Washington, DC’s crime problem, and decrying President Donald Trump’s intervention — but it’s time they face reality.
Over the last 12 days, as Trump federalized the DC police force and deployed federal officers on district streets, the city’s shockingly high murder rate screeched to a halt.
No homicides were recorded at all in that time frame, a sharp, statistically significant drop that’s far too large to dismiss as mere chance. . . .
Statistically, compared to the homicide rate during the first seven months of this year, the odds of that happening by chance are just 0.37%, or 1 in 272.
Compared to 2024 — when the district recorded 187 homicides, or nearly one every other day — the odds shrink to 0.21%, or 1 in 478.
Few gamblers would take those odds in a bet.
Of course, these calculations rely on the district’s reported homicide numbers — which may be artificially low. . . .
