It seems that no one buys Donald Trump’s assertion that there is an emergency in Washington, DC which requires federal intervention to apply the law. This is particularly true because the White House refuses to say what is the emergency.
Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) did CNN and flat called Washington, DC Emergency Fake.
Video of the Raskin representative:
Raskin said:
They have not defined what urgency is, in particular with crime rates at a 30 -year hollow in the District of Columbia. And he deployed the National Guard, at least I am happy to see that he recognizes that he has the power to activate the National Guard.
This is what he refused to do four and a half years ago when the Capitol and his own vice-president and the Congress were attacked. By the violence of the crowd he unleashed against us. And he sat on his hands for many hours and then said that he did not have the power to deploy the National Guard.
It was a real urgency. It is not a real urgency. He was not invited to send the National Guard or take over the police by the Chamber or the Senate or the Mayor or the DC Council. It seems to me. As an emergency, which is manufactured due to a public relations crisis concerning the Epstein file.
He does not want to release the Epstein file, so he wants everyone to look in another direction. In any case, if he really cared about public security at DC, he would release the billion dollars he retained, and the Republicans retained the financing of the local budget. It’s all local money.
That they put on a grip on it. They would not have forgiven 1,600 insurrectionists and drummers of violent cops on the first day in power. And he would not have dismissed all these federal prosecutors experienced at the Office of the American Prosecutor at the Ministry of Justice and replaced them by participants and literals of January 6 for the defendants of January 6 and other people who are clearly in disagreement with the real public security of the inhabitants of the Columbia district.
The preparation of statistics and emergencies are two of Trump’s favorite things to do. There is no emergency in Washington, DC
No one in the consumer media has raised eyebrows, but Trump’s press conference on Monday was the second time in less than a week that Donald Trump has organized an event to present false statistics to refuse reality.
Trump organized an event last week at the White House where he presented false jobs and income.
The Raskin representative was right. Trump is looking for a distraction to get people to forget Epstein files. The president targets a majority minority city because he knows that when he needs something to distract his base, he can always count on racism to do the trick.
All those who are not a Maga sees by distraction, including Jamie Raskin, and it is certain that there will be a fight against the legality of the legality of Trump federalizing a local police, but it is not crime or public policy.
This is Donald Trump creating a distraction.
