    Crime set to explode in burbs and rural areas as Trump annexes big cities…

    Get ready for massive crime in the suburbs and rural areas as criminals fan out from cities under siege by Trump troops. As the old saying goes, “What did you think was gonna happen??”

    This will come as a shock to those who trust politicians blindly and live by political slogans, but you can’t stop bad guys by filling cities with machine gun toting soldiers and feds, any more than you can end violence by confiscating guns. The same concept applies: the bad guys will find another way.

    I THOUGHT conservatives understood this simple concept since they are the ones who have been demanding the government stop making new gun laws on the basis of the belief that criminals can’t be governed into law abidance, but evidently I was wrong. Evidently, they are clueless that if you swamp one city with cops, the bad guys just move on to another city.

    Many Trump supporters have abandoned their beliefs about government overreach and are now cheering on the taking of their cities by masked feds. They post “this is what I voted for!” as cities increasingly look like Tel Aviv and crime begins to rise in surrounding areas in every category. I know, shocker, the concept of cause and effect is still a thing.

    Common sense be damned, to the delight of his statist followers Trump announced yesterday he will next send 1,700 more National Guard troops to NINETEEN CITIES across America to “crackdown on crime.” Signing another executive order, he proclaimed, “It’s time to make our cities safe again!” —as though bad guys comply with executive orders.

    Maybe Trump supporters are confused. Maybe they think there’s a difference between making new laws and signing executive orders. I’m here to tell you, there is not. It’s the same racket with a different name: government trying to govern bad people into good people. It’s never worked, and it never will.

    The truth is, Trump’s lazy and tyrannical approach to reducing crime will only work temporarily. The cost is astronomical, the criminals won’t comply, and it is 100% unsustainable. The truth is, he’s mostly doing this for optics and to distract people from things like the Epstein files, his sagging approval ratings, the ongoing rising inflation, and the AI takeover. The truth is, martial law is not coming, martial law is here, shocking Trump supporters are excited about it. 

    But then again, not many people care about truth these days, so there is that.

    Is Trump’s invasion of DC the start of a 1984 police state? And other questions…

    I’m old enough to remember a time when the book 1984 was just a fictional work like a Stephen King novel. In light of Trump’s authoritarian directives of late, it’s looking more and more like a documentary every day. Everyone should be asking these questions and more:

    What are the actual crime numbers that are necessitating such a drastic reaction to city crime? Because the last time I checked crime is down substantially in Washington DC from last year. Murder has gone down 26%. Is the Trump administration being honest? Doesn’t sound like it.

    Is the federal takeover of Washington DC a model for the whole country? 

    What does the federal takeover mean for people’s freedoms and quality of life?

    How long will the federal takeover last? And once it presumably comes to an end, will crime then return to its previous levels (since we all know that “Police presence” is only a temporary stop gap measure)

    What are the mental health ramifications for developing minds when there are armed officers standing on every corner?

    What are the repercussions on surrounding cities that do not have federal police presence? In other words did the criminals just move to other cities?

    What exactly does the Trump administration hope to accomplish other than “cleaning up the cesspool“? Is there a target crime rate they are “shooting” for? Or is this just another one of those “we’ll figure it out as we go along “Trump things?

    What are the impacts on the local economy and local businesses who now have federal agent stationed outside their doors? Are consumers more or less likely to patronize them? Also, what are the impacts on tourism? 

    How much does Trump’s “operation DC takeover“ cost taxpayers on a daily basis?

    Were any other measures taken to lower crime prior to launching a federal military takeover? i’m talking about measures such as deleting the draconian gun laws that prevent citizens from defending themselves and/or implementing a “stand your ground” self-defense law? What about mandating the city of Washington DC step up law-enforcement or sanction them heavily? Or did the Trump administration just take the lazy way and start sending troops?

    What is considered “high crime” and at what statistical point is a city considered a “cesspool,“ in the words of Trump, that necessitates military occupation?

    Is the Washington DC invasion actually necessary or is Trump doing this to get his supporters excited and distracted from the Epstein files?

    Is it just me, or is Trump acting more and more like land and power grabber Putin every day?
