There’s no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC — send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nation’s capital when he wants to.

I don’t think it’s a privilege for another country to sell me bananas. I’m glad they grow them, and I’m happy to pay for them.
