The resounding success of President Donald Trump’s law enforcement surge in Washington, D.C., as publicly acknowledged by the city’s own Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser, presents an undeniable truth that the liberal media and the radical left find impossible to swallow.
Their deeply ingrained hatred for the President is so potent that it overrides any concern for public safety or the well-being of American citizens. It is a tragic state of affairs when political animosity blinds an entire political faction to solutions that are demonstrably saving lives and restoring order. Rather than celebrate a drastic reduction in violent crime, left-wing pundits and politicians would rather see communities remain in peril than admit that President Trump’s strong, decisive leadership is effective.
D.C. Mayor Bowser: We “greatly appreciate” the surge.
“The difference between this 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents a 87% reduction in carjackings” in the city, she says, adding that “neighborhoods feel safer and are safer” because of it. pic.twitter.com/H3JjJprK4y— Caleb Howe (@CalebHowe) August 27, 2025
This irrational aversion to success is laid bare by Mayor Bowser’s own words, which stand in stark contrast to the media’s preferred narrative of an “authoritarian takeover.” The data she cited is irrefutable. As reported, Bowser told reporters, “We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city.” She provided the stunning statistics, noting “an 87% drop in carjackings compared to the same period last year” and “a 15% fall in crime overall in the district” in the mere twenty days since the federal initiative began.
She further praised the operation, stating, “We know that when carjackings go down, when use of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer, so this surge has been important to us.”
These are not the words of a mayor describing an oppressive regime; they are the words of a leader acknowledging a successful public safety partnership. The results speak for themselves: “more stops that have resulted in the seizure of illegal guns” and more “accountability in the system” that “is driving down illegal behavior.” Yet, despite this clear evidence and the grateful testimony of a local official, the liberal media continues to peddle fear and misinformation.

Their commitment to a false narrative exposes a chilling priority: a desire for failure if that failure can be pinned on President Trump. They would rather have American cities plagued by lawlessness—more carjackings, more violence, more fear—than report on a victory for law, order, and the Trump Administration. This isn’t about policy disagreements; it’s about a pathological refusal to give credit where it is overwhelmingly due, even when the safety of the nation’s capital is at stake. The left’s hypocrisy is on full display, choosing partisan hatred over the security of their own constituents.
