$1.7 BILLION DOLLARS TO PROVE TRUMP'S "CRIME CRACKDOWN" DOESN'T WORK
Not my numbers. Independent researchers. They studied the National Guard deployments Trump ordered into Washington, Los Angeles, Chicago, Memphis, New Orleans
Zero. That's the statistically significant drop in homicides these deployments produced. Zero
$1.7 billion of your tax dollars spent on troops in American cities and the crime rate didn't move
Two people are dead because of this. One civilian. One National Guard member. Killed enforcing a policy that a real study just confirmed accomplishes nothing
Trump doesn't care. Trump is already threatening the next city. Baltimore. Told Governor Wes Moore, a Black man he can't stop sneering at, "if Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did, I will send in the troops"
Newscum. That's what the President of the United States calls a sitting governor. In writing. In public
This isn't law enforcement. This is a occupation tour with a body count and a press release
Every city gets the same script. Announce a "crime emergency" that isn't backed by the data. Deploy troops for the cameras. Bill taxpayers $1.7 billion. Bury the study that says it failed. Move to the next blue state and do it again
Defense contractors are cashing checks. Residents are getting shot at checkpoints in their own neighborhoods. Immigrant families are getting swept up in raids that have nothing to do with the "crime surge" excuse
Trump gets his strongman photo ops right before midterms. You get the invoice and the corpses
This isn't a public safety strategy. It's a taxpayer-funded campaign ad with live ammunition
And they are already scouting the next city to wreck
