President Trump's rap sheet is a long one well aware of by the people. A convicted criminal (34 felony counts) a sexual abuser, a fraudster and a President who betrayed his oath of office when he sent his mob rioters to the nation's capital in Washington D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021 to try and overturn the Presidential election using force. His many attacks against judges, the rule of law and the constitution are well known. So now, he puts the spotlight back on Washington D.C. by sending in the National Guard to take control of a local matter called a crime emergency that does not exist. The Guard will just be there as a fixture and the hard work will still be done by the local governing body.
Trump's phony law and order action came 4 years and 6 months too late. He failed to send the National Guard to D.C. on Jan 6 when he ordered his riot mob to attack the capitol and stop the carnage. In fact he refused to do so even after his advisers advised him to do so. It was his own lawless mob and he was not about to stop it and restore law and order. Trump's latest Guard move in D.C. was just a political move to deflect from his problem concerning Jeffery Epstein, his tariffs, his failure on Ukraine and a chaotic administration of ignorance.
In a Times Picayune article of 8/19/25 we learn that Louisiana's little boy governor Jeff Landry, a well known Trump ditto head, is sending 135 National Guard troops to D.C.to assist Trump's effort there. The article quoted Landry as saying: WE ARE A NATION OF LAW AND ORDER. OUR CAPITAL IS A REFLECTION OF OUR NATIONS RESPECT, BEAUTY AND STANDARDS. WE CANNOT ALLOW OUR CITIES TO BE OVERCOME BY VIOLANCE AND LAWLESSNESS. I AM PROUD TO SUPPORT THEIR MISSION TO RETURN SAFETY AND SANITY TO WASHINGTON D.C.
That Landry's quote applies to what took place on Jan 6, 2021 in Washington D.C. when Trump sent his uncontrolled riot mob to the capital, not what is taking place at this time in D.C. Does any one remember Landry making this statement on Jan 6 when the nation's capital was being disrespected and abused? Trump even pardoned all those rioters who were convicted for their lawlessness. On that day, the capital was overcome by violence and there was no safety and sanity. Trump by his own actions prove he is no supporter of law and order. And his party is right behind him.
Trump and many in his party are still trying to sell the lie that the 2020 Presidential election was rigged. And now, Trump and his party are trying to rig future elections with their redistricting plans to change the voting maps. The FBI's past stats on crime year in and year out show that 7 out of the 10 top states that lead in crime are governed by the GOP.
And that really says it all.
