Nearly 2,000 troops have already been deployed, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorizing a major expansion of their role. Trump has vowed to take control of D.C. police, promising to “fix the city physically and legally,” while Mayor Muriel Bowser condemned the deployment as an “armed militia.” With crime actually at a 30-year low, critics call this an alarming escalation.

Trump Declares ‘Liberation Day’ in DC, Deploys National Guard, Takes Over Police—Vows to Crush Crime

“Liberation Day” in Washington, D.C. President Donald Trump has declared a public safety emergency and taken direct federal control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police. Flanked by Attorney General Pam Bondi, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and FBI Director Kash Patel, Trump announced the deployment of the National Guard to restore order in the capital, which he compared to Baghdad and Mexico City. Citing “phony crime numbers,” Trump said D.C. is spiraling into chaos — and he’s not stopping there. Cities like Chicago and Los Angeles are next on his list as he vows to expand the federal crackdown. Is this a bold move to save American cities — or an unprecedented power grab?

US BREAKING: Trump FORCES $25B Golden Dome Trial Before 2028Vote|Political Pressure to FAIL Project?

The Pentagon has confirmed the long-anticipated test date for Trump's billion-dollar "Golden Dome" missile defense system—just weeks before the 2028 election. Announced in May, Trump’s campaign-era promise aims to create a space-based shield against missile threats. The timing raises eyebrows, with defense experts questioning if this is military strategy or political theater. Led by Gen. Michael Guetlein and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the program faces tight deadlines, scaling challenges, and skyrocketing costs. With $25B already allocated, the pressure to deliver—both technically and politically—is mounting. #GoldenDome #TrumpDefense #MissileDefense #2028Election #NationalSecurity #TrumpAgenda #SpaceShield #PentagonTest #FTIX #USPolitics #DefenseStrategy #TrumpCampaign #ElectionTiming #TrumpNews #MissileThreat #USMilitary #PoliticalStrategy #WhiteHouse #TrumpVsPentagon #BallisticMissiles #MilitaryFunding #PeteHegseth #MichaelGuetlein #BillionDollarTest #DefenseNews #SpaceDefense #TrumpTrialTest #PentagonMove #USDefenseShield #TrumpSpeech ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.125~
