"If Mr. Trump and his fellow Republicans were really concerned about public safety in the city, they would not have put DC in an unnecessary fiscal straitjacket. Congress has sweeping powers over the city’s finances, and earlier this year Republicans used them to force it to slash spending, even though its budget was already balanced (unlike the federal government’s). That has made it impossible for the city to increase spending on the police — or anything else. It has money sitting in the bank that Congress will not allow it to spend. It is defund the police, Republican-style."
