Dear Donny has been flexing what muscle he has in DC and in turn is threatening other Blue States and cities with federal intervention….like NYC, California, Chicago, etc…..but why are Red sites exempt from this intervention?
The New York Times’ David W. Chen, in an article published on Labor Day 2025, emphasizes that some of the most violent cities in the U.S. are in red states.
“When Tennessee’s Republican governor, Bill Lee, dispatched his National Guard troops to Washington to support President Trump’s crackdown on crime,” Chen reports, “Democrats and other critics wondered why he didn’t keep them within state lines. Memphis, after all, has long been one of the most dangerous cities in the country, with a murder rate about twice as high as the nation’s capital, according to FBI statistics. Nashville has a higher rate of violent crime than Washington as well.”
The New York Times reporter continues, “The same questions could be asked of other Republican governors like Greg Abbott in Texas, Mike DeWine in Ohio and Mike Kehoe in Missouri, since cities under their purview all have higher rates of violent crime than the nation’s capital. Yet no Republican governor has asked for federal intervention.”
Chen notes that the “image of red-state governors mustering uniformed troops for duty in blue-state cities” has “left many Americans with the foreboding sense of a nation dangerously divided, perhaps even drifting toward open conflict.”
Chen explains, “Kansas City, St. Louis and Springfield, Mo.; Birmingham, Ala.; Cleveland, Dayton and Toledo, Ohio; Tulsa, Okla.; Memphis and Nashville; Houston; Little Rock, Ark.; Salt Lake City; and Shreveport, La., all have crime rates comparable to Washington’s, according to FBI statistics…. Indeed, Republican governors who have so far declined to ask the president for an intervention in their cities might be tempted to rethink that stance.”

Why indeed.
First it sits well with those mental midgets that are die hard MAGA fans to blame everything on Dems….second it is Little Donny Do-wrong getting even with people and places that have somehow ‘wronged’ him in the past.
Ignorant policy from an ignorant man.

Completely right my friend. Hugs

Red states are allied closely to him and the blue states contain the most democrats (which are said by some to be considered to be enemies of the state) and so normalization of military occupations of the democrat states will make purging them (If it ever comes to that in the natural progression of authoritarianism) seem more acceptable to the general population.
He wants this chaos for if he succeeds then his master plan will have an opening. chuq
considering his questionable behavior of late, I would suspect his fanbase may have shrunk a bit by now…then again there are a lot of people out there who think he’s just what this country needs…(may they all go back to California, where the earhtquakes are)
Judy I was surprised at the approvals he has in some states……as low as 28% and as high as 65%….most of the highs are in the South (go figure)…..chuq
He’s an idiot. ‘Nuf said.
Is there any time ‘enough said’ is really enough? LOL chuq
