(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump took to social media on Labor Day to congratulate the mayor of Washington, D.C., and tout a decrease in crime in the nation’s capital.
Trump penned:
“Wow! Mayor Muriel Bowser of D.C. has become very popular because she worked with me and my great people in bringing CRIME down to virtually NOTHING in D.C. Her statements and actions were positive, instead of others like Pritzker, Wes Moore, Newscum, and the 5% approval rated Mayor of Chicago, who spend all of their time trying to justify violent Crime, instead of working with us to completely ELIMINATE it, which we have done in Washington, D.C., NOW A CRIME FREE ZONE. Wouldn’t it be nice to say that about Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and even the Crime Drenched City of Baltimore??? It can happen, and it can happen FAST! Work with us!!! Mayor Bowser’s ratings have gone up, in a short period of time, 25%, and the people of D.C. are thanking her for stopping crime wherever she goes. It’s not a miracle, it’s hard work, courage, and being SMART. The top Law Enforcement Officer in L.A. said, during the riots, and when I sent the troops in early, that they couldn’t have done it without us. They were completely overwhelmed! If we hadn’t gone in early, on top of the Palisades plus fires, L.A. would have lost the Olympics. Congratulations to Mayor Muriel Bowser, but don’t go Woke on us. D.C. is a GIANT VICTORY that never has to end!!!”

Last month, Trump ordered federal law enforcement to patrol the streets of D.C. in an effort to thwart crime.
At the time, White House policy adviser Stephen Miller told NewsNation, “The president has been very clear that he’s going to take the action necessary. To secure the city of Washington for the people who live here, for all the American people and all who visit here, it’s our capital city.”
On Aug. 25, the White House announced Trump had signed an executive order with additional measures to decrease crime in the city, including increased hiring of prosecutors as well as park police officers at the National Park Service.

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday lauded law enforcement officers “who work tirelessly day and night to keep our communities safe,” while citing 71 additional arrests in Washington.
“On this Labor Day, we honor the men and women in law enforcement who work tirelessly day and night to keep our communities safe,” she wrote on social media. “In Washington, DC, 71 additional arrests have been made—including another Tren de Aragua gang member—and 9 more illegal firearms are off the street. Thank you for your service!”
