Trump To Crack Down On New Orleans?
Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that New Orleans could be the next city to face a federal crime crackdown, as his administration continues its aggressive push to restore law and order in violent, Democrat-run cities across the nation.
Speaking from the Oval Office, alongside Polish President Karol Nawrocki, Trump said his team is deciding whether to focus federal resources on New Orleans or Chicago, two cities that have seen violent crime spiral out of control under liberal leadership.
“We’re making a determination right now — do we go to Chicago, or do we go to a place like New Orleans where we have a great governor, Jeff Landry, who actually wants us to come in and clean up a beautiful part of this country that’s been overwhelmed by crime,” Trump told reporters.
Trump Promises to Fix New Orleans Crime Crisis Fast
Trump highlighted that with Republican Governor Jeff Landry’s support, federal law enforcement could restore safety to New Orleans far faster than in Washington, D.C., where troops were deployed weeks ago.
“New Orleans has a serious crime problem. We could fix it in about two weeks — easier than D.C.,” Trump declared confidently, signaling his readiness to take swift action.
While New Orleans has a Democrat mayor, the state of Louisiana is now led by a Republican governor, giving Trump a stronger path to deliver real results.
Democrat-Run Cities in Chaos
The President has made it clear that Democrat-run cities like Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Los Angeles have been plagued by decades of failed leadership, leaving residents unsafe and businesses fleeing.
In Illinois, Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker has openly rejected Trump’s offers of help to combat Chicago’s record levels of violence. Trump said this refusal shows just how out of touch some politicians are.
“We can fix Chicago — all they need to do is ask for help,” Trump said. “The people of Chicago are behind us. It’s their incompetent politicians holding them back.”
This message resonates with many Americans who are frustrated with skyrocketing crime rates, failing public safety policies, and soft-on-crime prosecutors backed by left-wing donors.
Trump’s Success in D.C. Shows What Works
Trump touted the dramatic turnaround in Washington, D.C., after he ordered federal troops to secure the city.
“D.C. is now a totally safe city. Crime is down 100 percent,” Trump said, praising federal forces for taking decisive action where local leaders had failed.
Under Home Rule, Trump was able to act without needing approval from local Democrat officials — a move that paid off and now serves as a model for future interventions.
Gavin Newsom Takes Cheap Shots — Gets Smacked Down
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) recently tried to deflect criticism of California’s crime wave by pointing to Louisiana’s numbers.
But House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) quickly fired back on Fox News.
“Gavin Newsom will do anything for attention,” Johnson said. “Instead of trashing other states, he should focus on fixing the disaster in his own backyard.”
Newsom’s remarks come as California faces a mass exodus of families and businesses due to rising crime, high taxes, and progressive policies driving people out of the state.
Bottom Line: Trump Takes Action, Democrats Play Politics
Trump’s plan to target New Orleans — and potentially Chicago — is another example of his America First leadership, prioritizing safety and security over partisan games.
With violent crime remaining one of the top concerns for voters, Trump’s message of “Law and Order” continues to resonate strongly with Americans — especially seniors and families who want to feel safe again in their communities.
Why This Matters
- Democrat-run cities are facing record crime rates.
- Trump has proven results with his decisive actions in Washington, D.C.
- Republican leadership, like Gov. Jeff Landry, is critical for real reform.
- Democrats like Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker are playing politics instead of protecting families.
