Democrats have been in charge of Washington, D.C., for more than five decades. There’s never been a Republican mayor. All D.C. issues have been created or allowed to fester by Democrats. With that in mind, Democrat Jamie Raskin asks who should be trusted to fix the myriad of crime problems plaguing the district. Um, the answer is obvious.
Here’s Raskin. (WATCH)
Raskin: Sure there’s a public safety problem in DC, but who do you trust to fix it? Donald Trump or the people who run DC? pic.twitter.com/3FmgNku9Vh

Well, the second choice hasn’t worked.

Well duh. Donald Trump of course.

Raskin once again demonstrated his remarkable lack of self-awareness.
Commenters agree that Rankin's question ranks among the most ridiculous ever asked on CNN.
Must be the dumbest thing ever said on CNN and that is really saying something

Did he ever have it? 😳

He must not think we know that the people in DC allowed the current conditions to thrive.

Democrats have been the shepherds of the destruction that Trump is now aiming to undo.
It’s so frustrating that Democrats are so utterly dense.
The people currently running DC created the problem, you moron!

D..C has been run by Democrats since the Home Rule Act was created in 1973. They are the problem, not the solution.

"you've got to trust the local officials to do this."

In a free and just world, the GOP would beat the democrats over the head for being soft on crime and the democrats would never win another election in our lifetime.....
— Senator Beauregard Claghorn (@SenBeauClaghorn) August 11, 2025
but who are we kidding, the GOP it too timid to do that.
Who do you trust, Democrats who created the crime problem in DC or President Trump who secured the US border in a week?

Should we trust the man who accomplishes the impossible or the political party that is impossibly stupid? Wow, that’s a hard choice. Not! It’s time we have a real leader solve crime in D.C. Step aside, Dems.
