If crime in DC dropped 35% under Biden, what is Trump talking about?????

And I have read it is down another 15% this year..I am not sure why Trump is putting troops on DC streets other than he made a promise during the runup to the election to do so, even though crime was dropping like a stone..

https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/2024-dc-violent-crime-rate-decrease-fact-sheet

"Media outlets have recently reported that violent crime is down dramatically in the District of Columbia. Overall, violent crime is down 35% and on trend to be at its lowest level since MPD began reporting the number roughly 20 years ago. Carjackings involving firearms are down 55%."

ever since the George Floyd protests, when she had the colossal nerve to have a street near the White House painted with the words BLACK LIVES MATTER. Mayor Bowser is a Black woman in a city with a lot of Black people (and Democrats), and he loves to portray cities led by Black people and/or Democrats and where Black people and/or Democrats live as crime-ridden hellholes. He used the recent mugging of DOGEbag "Big Balls" by a couple of fifteen-year-olds as an excuse to take over the city's law enforcement, notwithstanding the dramatic drop in its crime rate. But I think the National Guard soldiers will be bored, standing around without much crime to thwart. The biggest criminal is in the White House.
