Despite Democrats and mainstream media criticizing Trump as authoritarian for deploying federal troops to restore order in D.C., Bowser told reporters that the increased presence is effective. Since Trump initiated the effort, the city has seen only one homicide in nearly two weeks. Bowser expressed strong appreciation for the additional officers supporting the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). She highlighted a key statistic: during this 20-day federal surge, carjackings dropped by 87% compared to last year, making neighborhoods feel safer. Bowser also revealed she spoke directly with Trump about these issues and acknowledged his longstanding interest in urban safety predating his presidency. While her positive remarks about Trump&#8217;s actions are unlikely to be well-received by her own party-who have criticized the troop deployment-Bowser emphasized that tangible results matter more than political rhetoric<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2479899,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Mayor-Bower.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[50403,62167,32319,5894],"class_list":["post-2479898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-crime-2","tag-dc-mayor-bowser","tag-donald-trump","tag-politics"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Mayor-Bower.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2479898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2479898"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2479898\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2479902,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2479898\/revisions\/2479902"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2479899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2479898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2479898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2479898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
