This comes after Trump’s bold intervention in Washington, D.C., earlier this month—a move that many mocked at first but which has already produced significant results. While critics doubted him, Trump’s hands-on approach is proving that strong leadership makes a difference when it comes to tackling crime.
Meanwhile, Democrats are in full meltdown mode. They appear to have no strategy other than opposing anything tied to Trump—even when it’s something Americans overwhelmingly support. Instead of offering solutions, Democrats continue to push talking points that few voters believe anymore.
In typical fashion, the Left has tried two approaches: labeling Trump “authoritarian” or twisting crime statistics. But neither is resonating. Voters know what they see in their neighborhoods and on the nightly news. They know the truth, and no amount of spin can change reality.
“When this heads to the Hill,” Politico’s Rachael Bade wrote Wednesday on X, “Dems will need a better response than calling trump an ‘authoritarian’ leader and citing crimes statistics.”
That’s because Americans aren’t buying the propaganda anymore. The days when the establishment media could brainwash voters are over. Social media and independent outlets have broken their monopoly.
“A reminder that recent polling out this week shows more than 70 percent of the country thinks crime is just as bad as it has been in recent years or is getting WORSE. Only 20-something percent actually believe it’s going down,” Bade pointed out.
Polling continues to show Trump’s message on crime is hitting home. Tom Bevan of RealClearPolitics highlighted a fresh survey that underlines how much the issue matters to voters.
“New AP poll: 81 percent say crime is as a ‘major problem’ in large cities. Trump’s approval rating on the issue of crime is 53 percent. Overall approval rating 45 percent,” Bevan wrote.
This creates a political nightmare for Democrats. Trump is not only doing the right thing by fighting for safer communities—he’s also cornering Democrats into defending the indefensible. If they refuse to back the crime bill simply because Trump supports it, they’ll find themselves siding with the radical 20 percent who claim crime isn’t a problem.
The irony is breathtaking. In their blind hatred of Trump, Democrats risk tying themselves to deeply unpopular positions that could cost them dearly at the ballot box. If they stick with this losing strategy, the 2026 midterms could turn into a political bloodbath for the Left.
Trump understands something simple that his opponents do not: putting Americans’ safety first is both the right thing to do and a winning political move. While Democrats chase headlines and peddle excuses, Trump is once again leading from the front.
