President Trump's announcement last month that he was federalizing law enforcement in Washington, DC caused yet another meltdown on the Left. Yes indeed, Trump actually got the Dems to come out in defense of violent crime (in addition to supporting illegal immigration and expressing concern for drug traffickers).
When it comes to Trump's crime crackdown in DC, the Washington Post's editorial board has been spotted doing a bit of a one-eighty on the issue.

Early last month the Post editorial board made this bold prediction about Trump's DC crime crackdown:
D.C.’s crackdown on crime is working, the Editorial Board writes. Trump taking over won’t make our streets safer. https://t.co/rdQ6dhdmBV

You can guess how that one has aged.
Not even one month later:
WaPo editorial: “Muriel Bowser partnering with Trump on crime is what’s best for D.C.” https://t.co/6W1h6qaoqL

Now that DC's Democrat mayor admitted Trump helped clean up the streets and is now cooperating with the White House maybe the Post figures it's safe to put it that way.
The media has absolutely zero shame https://t.co/hyQDB0zNt8

Any way the wind blows!
