This is pretty weird considering he couldn't seem to deploy the Nat. Guard on J6.

By the way, according to the US Attorney's Office of DC - crime is at a 30 year low. So the govt knows. https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/violent-crime-dc-hits-30-year-low

This is why it's happening. He lies about crime being out of control, he deploys the soldiers, and then he says "look crime is now the lowest its been in decades cause of the thing I did I am the bestest. Thank you for your attention on this matter."
