If the parents don’t monitor their children, the National Guard and President Trump will! On Wednesday, August 6. 2025, Just the News ran and article headlined, “Trump floats deploying National Guard troops to Washington DC to help with crime.”
President Donald Trump on Wednesday floated the idea of sending the National Guard to Washington, D.C., as part of his potential plan to take over the federal city to crack down on crimes committed by minors.
Trump threatened to end D.C. home rule on Tuesday if the city did not step up when it comes to prosecuting minors who commit serious crimes. Trump claimed the city’s lenient attitudes toward underaged criminals had emboldened them.
The threats come after former 19-year-old Department of Government Efficiency staffer Edward Coristine was assaulted by an alleged group of juveniles over the weekend who were apparently trying to carjack a vehicle in Northwest D.C.
Trump was asked whether he would consider taking over Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department as a means to boost law enforcement activity in the capital, to which the president responded he was considering it, NBC News reported.
“We’re considering it. Yeah, because the crime is — is ridiculous,” Trump told reporters. “We have a capital that’s very unsafe, you know, we just almost lost a young man. Beautiful, handsome guy that got the hell knocked out of him the night before last.
“What a shame, rate of crime, the rate of muggings, killings and everything else,” he continued. “We’re not going to let it, and that includes bringing in the National Guard, maybe very quickly, too.”
It could be difficult to orchestrate a full federal takeover of the city, because both chambers of Congress would need to repeal the 1973 Home Rule Act. But if Trump does send in the National Guard, it would not be the first time he has done so.
“In my opinion, the parents of these unruly kids should be charged as well if it shows that they let their kids run wild.” Thomas Robb, National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan, based centrally in Harrison, Arkansas said from his National Office. “I realize parents can’t watch what their children are doing all the time, but many of these kids are black, many learn their criminal behavior from their parents. That being said, I think the parents records should be taken into consideration when punishment is rendered on the child. If the parents have a serious criminal history, those are the parents that should be punished along with their child. Don’t think for a minute that black children in America didn’t take notice to the beating of a man and a woman in Cincinnati, or the riots of 2020. Several black people won millions of dollars because they though law enforcement handled them to harshly. Now I do realize White kids commit crimes, but the majority of these mobs are black children. Until there is order brought back to our cities across America, headlines like we are seeing will continue. If it takes the National Guard to bring order in our streets, then so be it. I can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want to see order brought back to our streets. The only people that will have a problem with it will be criminals and Democrats, and of course Mainstream Media.”
