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?
