President Trump declared Washington, D.C. a “miracle,” boasting that there have been no murders in the past week—the first such stretch in decades. Blasting the city’s leadership for “fake crime stats,” Trump vowed to keep D.C. “totally safe” by cracking down on violent offenders. He credited his administration’s aggressive measures, saying criminals are either jailed, deported, or hiding. Calling repeat offenders “career criminals,” Trump said his plan is making the nation’s capital safer than ever before.
