Despite a Washington Post poll showing that around 80% of D.C. residents oppose the National Guard&#8217;s presence, crime statistics tell a different story. Following the deployment, the city experienced seven consecutive days without a homicide, alongside important decreases in carjackings, robberies, car thefts, and overall crime. The article argues that the strong opposition from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/3-takeaways-from-the-successful-recall-of-san-franciscos-progressive-district-attorney-chesa-boudin%ef%bf%bc\/\" title=\"3 Takeaways From The Successful Recall Of San Francisco\u2019s Progressive District Attorney Chesa Boudin\ufffc\">largely liberal residents<\/a> and media coverage reflects partisan bias rather than the policy&#8217;s effectiveness, highlighting the success of the National Guard in improving public safety despite political and media criticism.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yzZzlnqKmms\">WJZ\/Youtube <\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/08\/21\/d-c-democrats-are-furious-at-trump-for-stopping-all-the-homicides\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=D.C.%20Democrats%20Are%20Furious%20At%20Trump%20For%20Stopping%20All%20The%20Homicides&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/08\/21\/d-c-democrats-are-furious-at-trump-for-stopping-all-the-homicides\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=D.C.%20Democrats%20Are%20Furious%20At%20Trump%20For%20Stopping%20All%20The%20Homicides&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/08\/21\/d-c-democrats-are-furious-at-trump-for-stopping-all-the-homicides\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/08\/21\/d-c-democrats-are-furious-at-trump-for-stopping-all-the-homicides\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=D.C.%20Democrats%20Are%20Furious%20At%20Trump%20For%20Stopping%20All%20The%20Homicides&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/08\/21\/d-c-democrats-are-furious-at-trump-for-stopping-all-the-homicides\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>Democrats in Washington, D.C., are furious &mdash; not because violent crime was spiraling out of control, but because President Donald Trump did something to stop it.<\/p>\n<p>A new Washington Post-Schar School <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/tablet\/2025\/08\/20\/aug-14-17-2025-washington-post-schar-school-poll-dc-residents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">poll<\/a> found that roughly 8 in 10 D.C. residents oppose Trump&rsquo;s deployment of the National Guard. The poll was conducted between Aug. 14 and Aug. 17 and surveyed 604 D.C. residents with a +\/- 4.1 percentage point margin of error.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2 d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-2049998395\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This outrage was unsurprising, given that the propaganda press peddled the same narrative in recent days. A quartet of so-called journalists at CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/08\/13\/politics\/national-guard-washington-dc-police\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> on Aug. 14 that a crowd in D.C. was &ldquo;outraged by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-officials-blast-sanctuary-city-mayors-after-cbp-officer-shot\/\" title=\"... officials blast sanctuary ... mayors after CBP officer shot\">federal law enforcement presence<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>One local the outlet interviewed, Mara Lasko, called the presence of National Guard troops &ldquo;crazy,&rdquo; before adding that it makes people angry. &ldquo;And I don&rsquo;t think they&rsquo;re actually doing anything productive to make our city a safer place,&rdquo; Lasko added.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/show\/how-d-c-residents-feel-about-crime-and-the-federal-takeover-of-their-city\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PBS News<\/a>&rsquo; Geoff Bennett reported on how residents are &ldquo;adapting to life under federal control&rdquo; as if soldiers were staging a military coup rather than standing guard against thugs.<\/p>\n<p>One protester PBS News interviewed said Trump was &ldquo;trying to make it less and less safe and make you more and more scared&rdquo; and that &ldquo;most people do not want this.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times&rsquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/08\/16\/us\/politics\/washington-dc-national-guard-protest.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alyce McFadden<\/a> acknowledged in her recent piece on the protests, however, that the district residents are &ldquo;overwhelmingly liberal.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>And that&rsquo;s the point. D.C. is overwhelmingly liberal, which is why these polls and puff pieces don&rsquo;t actually mean much. Of course statistics showing roughly 8 in 10 D.C. residents oppose the National Guard would sound more compelling if more than 70 percent of respondents <em>weren&rsquo;t<\/em> Democrats &mdash; whose reflex answer to anything involving Trump is always &ldquo;wrong.&rdquo; But crime data just released undercuts the left-wing outrage: For the first time in years, D.C. just went seven straight days without a single homicide.<\/p>\n<p>The city also saw an 83 percent decrease in carjackings, a 46 percent decrease in robberies, a 21 percent decrease in car thefts, and a 22 percent decrease in crime overall, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/foxbaltimore.com\/newsletter-daily\/national-guards-presence-slashes-dc-crime-rates-with-seven-days-homicide-free\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fox45<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But surely that can&rsquo;t be true! After all, 65 percent of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >poll respondents confidently declared<\/a> that the deployment will not reduce violent crime in the city. <\/p>\n<p>And yet it did. Crime fell, homicides vanished for a week, and D.C.&rsquo;s streets are safer than they&rsquo;ve been in years. Which means the endless outrage from Democrats, the media, and their polling data isn&rsquo;t just wrong &mdash; it&rsquo;s ridiculous. They worked themselves into a frenzy over a policy that, thus far, has been successful.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Brianna Lyman is an elections correspondent at The Federalist.
