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?
