After Trump announced that He was too afraid to go to Chicago, He therefore sends the National Guard to Memphis instead, the heads of city and state spoke of crime to Memphis, and what they really need Trump and his party.
The senator of the state of Tennessee London Lamar (D) was on the MSNBC weekend on Saturday, and she said:
What we have to do is continue to invest in the local police, and what we have to do is allow our local leaders to show the way when it comes to making Memphis safe. Look, Memphis experiences crime challenges like all the big cities in the United States because.
Our republican legislators and the Trump administration refuse to invest in adequate health care, affordable housing, an increase in wages, all the determining factors of crime. And when you have a black city like Memphis that has been divest for decades and decades, there are no public security challenges.
But do not be mistaken, this decision is a short -term band effect on the attempt to combat crime. If we really want to get it. To meat and potatoes of this problem, send all the federal resources to improve programming for children, to improve access to health care, to provide more affordable accommodation, but do not just bring the army.
It will not have a real impact on anyone’s life, but scare them for a few weeks.

Lamar then talked about republican policies increasing crime and said:
The republicans of Tennessee have implemented over the past seven years, they have retreated the laws on firearms, they have left firearms flooding in the streets have relaxed the laws on firearms, and what you saw was an increase in crime. So what I would say in the past 15 years of republican control, our community has become more dangerous. Firearms are the main cause of death for the children of Tennessee, and it is not because we have not done much to be hard for crime. This is because we have loosened laws around firearms and make our communities dangerous and not to invest in education, affordable housing and other indicators of a good life.
And what you see is, is a political blow around messaging that it is a city of people who do not want to work or who commit crimes, and it is simply false. Memphis is an incredible city. Memphis has a story of Martin Luther King of Justice, of fighting, and this is what we will show America with Trump sending the National Guard. This will not break us. It will make our city stronger, and we will show you how to direct at a time when the world thinks that we are just going to fall into the Trump administration.
We will really show our strength right now. We will show this to the Governor, the Republicans and the Trump administration. We are ready to work.
Trump’s false war against crime is a stroke of advertising that seems to distract the country of the failing economy, Epstein files and the ever -increasing failure list of Trump.
The reason for which Trump invades Memphis is due to the Republican Governor and the Legislature. Trump will not face any legal challenges in Tennessee as he will do in other blue states with Democratic governors.
Memphis is a mainly minority city, but it will not be the easy goal that Trump hopes, and if he does not pay attention to his advertising on the crime will turn against him.
