I forget, which news outlet paid nearly $1b in damages for defamation and lying? Was it NYT or MSNBC? Or perhaps a different right wing outlet...I can't recall. Hard to keep track of which agencies are 'fake news' or 'real news.'

So, I assume this is your way of admitting you have no stats supporting your intimated assertion tourism/restaurant businesses are down due to Trump's cut down on crime, and you are further insinuating there is a lie you won't identify in the post which I linked from x.

But again from the fake news NYT about Viacom settling over 60minutes-of-lies hiding 'sharp as a tack' Peepaw, since you want to identify media lie settlements:

So part of why CBS settled the dumb lawsuit over Kamala’s interview is because they were worried about discovery exposing Biden’s difficulties in his own interview?https://t.co/dM1yZE1GTP pic.twitter.com/fxOLbeXjvd

Again, you do you, man. DC is getting safer to visit and work in. I appreciate that.

Love it.

Now to see those numbers go down further, and stay down all throughout his time in office and beyond.

---

from what I heard they can only do this Federal emergency for 30 days.

not sure they can just keep this going for the next three years continuously.

The DC minions will NEVER vote for Trump…no matter the positive results.

---

They didn't vote for him last time and he's still done what needed to be done. So there's no reason for this to get better and become permanent.

That sucks. Maybe Trump can find a way to get more officers hired through funding or whatnot. Otherwise it'll be very easy for things to go right back to where they were 31 daya earlier.

Anyone who believes that more police presence and safer streets leads to reduced tourism and less spending in an area is a weapons grade dumbass!

Let's just be honest.

---

It's like Trump said, he could discover a cure for cancer and libs would complain that he was putting the oncologists out of jobs.

These fools are going to complain no matter what Trump does. The more he solves problems and makes life better for Americans the louder they will get because he is destroying their schemes to subvert this country and transform it into just another Marxist controlled state.

If that happens won't it make it even more transparent that the lack of order is bad for everyone except criminals. Maybe voters change their habits or maybe someone else steps in to clean it.up.

Looks like a much safer place to be.

DC crime since the announcement of federal control versus the 7 days prior:

Robbery ⬇️46%
ADW ⬇️6%
Carjacking ⬇️83%
Car Theft ⬇️21%
Violent Crime ⬇️22%
Property Crime ⬇️6%
All Crimes⬇️8%

While federal assistance gives us a boost, we must repeal the misguided Comprehensive…

Care to post the stats for tourism and consumer spending?

---

Thank you for providing...nay...becoming the quintessential example of "Luxury Beliefs".

I just watched the DC mayor spouting off her displeasure with crime reduction.

Corrupt, lunatic Democrats like criminals, illegals, drug-addicted, indolent leeches to prop up their voter base.

I can't give you any stats you won't simply ignore as 'fake news' despite watching a news channel that literally paid $750m because it knowingly lied to its audience.

democrats worse nightmare...law and order works!

To continue longer then 30 days requires Congressional approval, but it can be done.

No telling how accurate the baseline numbers are.

Almost certainly they were massively underreported across the board.

Democrats will start paying thugs to increase crime due to their TDS.

Just wait for it.

They can't, their NGOs have been defunded.

Remember, right before leaving these NGO's got $900,000,000,000.00 from Biden.

That's a lot of zeros.

I'm genuinely confused how this is a response to a X post from the DC police union.
Many major news outlets have had to make substantial payouts for libel including Fox, Newsmax, CBS news and CNN. Further, those that haven't have faced significant charges of bias and fraud from well respected, often liberal, insiders. Congrats on the Red Herring fallacy I guess

Then Trump should get on the Twitter and tell the republicans to start working on it. He's been extremely effective with them in the past, and something like this should be a no-brainer for them.

Doesn't matter. Something is working NOW and like with anything, you don't stop once you have momentum.

Who knows, it's just a distraction/derail here. Add, I don't watch but, maybe, 20-30 minutes of Fox News a week (the round table on Fox News sunday show). I think that's who he's referencing anyway, that they settled with Dominion a couple years ago. It's utterly irrelevant to his claim to have DC consumer/tourist data in the past 10 days showing a drop attributable to Trump's actions.

This just made my day. As I repeatedly say - but the MSM will never report - the reason Fox News settled with Dominion for $787.5 million was because the judge said dealing with the summary judgment motion that he was going to instruct the jury that they had to treat everything…

Ultimately, it just shows that 'someone's angry' I guess. Sequence:

• crime stats down since Trump take over/national guard in DC
• 'Yeah but tourism is down.'
• What? The fake news from NYT about restaurant reservation data? What makes you say that?
• 'Argh, never-mind, you'd just call it fake news and Fox is a liar who settled with Dominion.'
• Ok. Cool talk.
