Crime and Safety Are Not Improving Under Democrats

Democrats like to say that crime is under control. They argue that “defund the police” was never real, that their policies made communities safer, and that conservatives exaggerated the danger. But Americans living in major cities know better. Families see the crime. Businesses feel the theft. Police officers face the consequences of political games.

Trump supports law enforcement. He restores accountability. He builds safety instead of slogans. That is the difference between truth and deception.

What Democrats Claimed About Defunding the Police

In 2020 and the years that followed, Democrat leaders insisted that cutting police budgets was about “reimagining public safety.” They said it was not about defunding but about shifting resources. The media echoed that line.

But budgets tell the real story. Cities like Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and New York cut tens of millions from police departments. Officers left the force in record numbers. Response times grew longer. The results were predictable—crime rose while politicians denied responsibility.

The Numbers Do Not Lie

The FBI reported that the murder rate jumped 30 % in 2020, the largest single-year increase on record. (FBI) Violent crime surged in Democrat-led cities. Robberies, assaults, and carjackings spiked. Shoplifting and organized theft became everyday events.

By contrast, under Trump’s leadership, federal support for law enforcement is strong. Police officers are encouraged, not vilified. Criminals are confronted, not excused. The difference is visible in safer streets where law and order are respected.

How Families and Communities Paid the Price

When police are stripped of resources, families suffer. Parents fear sending their kids to school. Businesses shut down under constant theft. Neighborhoods decline because criminals operate freely.

Safety is not a luxury. It is a moral duty. A government that abandons its people to violence betrays the very purpose of leadership.

Why Democrats Failed to Protect Their Cities

Democrat mayors in places like Chicago, Portland, and San Francisco allowed chaos to grow. They reduced police budgets, released violent offenders, and refused to prosecute serious crimes. Then they pretended crime was unrelated to their policies.

The evidence says otherwise. A city without law enforcement quickly becomes a city ruled by fear.

Trump Restores Order and Accountability

Trump stands with law enforcement. He invests in safety. He makes it clear that criminals will face consequences. That is not cruelty—it is justice. That is not extremism—it is leadership.

When police are backed by strong leadership, communities thrive. Crime drops. Families feel safe. Businesses grow. That is the America people deserve.

Faith Family and the Value of Justice

At its core, the fight against crime is about values. It is about protecting families, honoring the innocent, and holding the guilty accountable. A society that excuses violence or looks the other way when crime spreads has lost its moral compass.

Trump stands on the side of truth, justice, and responsibility. Past Democrat leaders stood on the side of weakness and excuses.
