I think it's a combination of things. Trump said in the national guard to enforce laws in DC which used to be one of the highest murder rate cities in America. I believe there were other cities he worked on as well.
us murders are concentrated in US cities, hollowing out the murder rate and even one city would have a large effect on the US murder rate.
I grant that, but I want to be clear, that wasn't the National Guard. It was the DC Police. The DCPD decided they wanted to lower the crime rate. The National Guard troops just gave the cops breathing room to go on patrol while they stood around aimlessly and looked pretty near federal buildings.
Trump deploying the National Guard to communities that wanted to reduce crime helped them reduce crime themselves. But he only did that a hand full of times. The true drop in crime is coming from the collapse of the inflow across the borders and the mass arrests of criminals via ICE & CPD.
It's like saying "Wow, acid attacks and child rapes had the largest 1 year drop ever since the new Reform government started deporting Pakistani refugees. Is this because of tough on crime policies, or is it because the child rapists are gone?"
Specific cities, which for some reason, have 'strict' gun laws, and provide sanctuary to illegals because their leaders are anti-American commie bitches.
