A photo of a bloody Coristine has become viral, arousing indignation at the manipulation of crime by the city and attracting the attention of President Donald Trump. The president criticized DC, saying that crime in the city was “completely out of control”.

“The local members of” young people “and gangs, some 14, 15 and 16 years old, attack, aggravate, mutilate and shoot innocent citizens at random, knowing at the same time that they will be almost immediately released. They are not afraid of police forces because they never know that nothing happens to them, but it will happen now!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

A few days later, Trump ordered the federal police to increase his presence throughout DC, he also deployed members of the National Guard to patrol the city and assumed federal control of the DC metropolitan police service.

Trump praised the success of taking control in the crime stop in the city, saying at the end of August: “We had incredible results, and the results were released, and it’s like a different place. It’s like a different city.”

Since then, Trump has suggested that he would adopt an approach similar to the fight against crime in other major American cities. On September 15, he signed a presidential memorandum entitled “Restoring the law and the order in Memphis,” mobilizing the National Guard to the City and establishing a “Memphis Safe working group” as the DC working group.
