Unexpected Trump Praise by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser Starts Conspiracy Theories

In a surprising turn of events, Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has attributed the decline in crime within the nation's capital to President Donald Trump's recent federal intervention in the local police force. Following Trump's announcement on August 7 to deploy National Guard troops and federal officers, Bowser previously referred to the decision as "unsettling and unprecedented."However, during a subsequent press conference, she acknowledged the potential benefits of the increased law enforcement presence, stating, "more law enforcement in neighborhoods may be positive." Despite this, she expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of federal forces, according to NBC News.Bowser highlighted a remarkable 87 percent decrease in carjackings, emphasizing that reductions in violent crime contribute to enhanced community safety. Yet, her conciliatory remarks sparked backlash from D.C.'s City Council members, who voiced concerns over the perceived authoritarian implications of the takeover, asserting that local autonomy is being compromised.
