President Donald Trump’s new move to help out Washington, D.C., is, in some ways, brilliant. 

Not only because it’s providing desperately needed law enforcement help to long-beleaguered residents, but also because it’s exposing how crazed Democrats are. They will even try to argue against help to deal with crime, because they always have to be attacking Trump. It’s a truly bizarre move. 

But you can always trust that Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) will take a bad move and make it even worse. Swalwell posted this: 

Trump Owns It https://t.co/1dpExxD4rj

— Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) August 12, 2025

He posted about a shooting death in D.C. on the same day that President Donald Trump made his announcement. So Trump hadn’t even done anything yet, but Swalwell was arguing that “Trump Owns It.” Talk about the height of idiocy. 

That not only doesn’t make Trump look bad, but it also helps prove his point even more. Democrats were trying to argue there wasn’t a real problem, and here Swalwell turns around and proves there is. Thanks, Eric! And boy, are you bad at this. So are you saying the Democrats owned all the crime that has happened in the city that they had complete control over the day before, if a day later, you’re claiming Trump does? 

Trump isn’t responsible for the crime in D.C.; he’s trying to stop it after years of Democrat-controlled failure. Democrats should welcome the help, but they don’t want to admit their policies failed. But Swalwell is giving you a window into their next dumb tactic — not doing anything about crime, but how they will blame Trump for every future crime in D.C. Nothing they ever do is helpful, it’s always and only constructed around being anti-Trump. And what about caring about the guy who was killed as more than just a political point? 

The politicians can say what they like. The bottom line is that the people who have to deal with D.C. know they have a problem. Some Democrats were privately cheering Trump’s action, as even MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough admitted on his “Morning Joe” show.
