President Donald Trump has once again done what few leaders are willing to do—he’s standing up to the chaos in our cities and taking bold action to restore order. His recent announcement that he will deploy troops to San Francisco shows a deep commitment to protecting law-abiding Americans and reclaiming the greatness of our once-proud cities.
Let’s be honest: San Francisco used to be a shining example of American prosperity. It was a place where families could live, work, and raise children in peace. But over the last 15 years, the city has fallen into disgrace. It didn’t happen overnight. This decline was brought on by radical left-wing policies that prioritized criminals over citizens, drug addicts over working families, and so-called “equity” over law and order.
President Trump is right to say that San Francisco “went woke.” And we all know what happens when a city embraces that dangerous ideology. It becomes dirty, dangerous, and unlivable. Crime runs rampant. Homeless encampments spread across neighborhoods. Small businesses are forced to shut down. Families flee. This is not progress—it’s destruction.
Unlike the Democrats who control San Francisco, President Trump refuses to stand by and let American communities fall apart. He has already shown what decisive leadership can do in Washington, D.C., where he oversaw the removal of 1,700 career criminals. That’s not just a number—it’s peace restored to neighborhoods, safety returned to streets, and justice brought back to the people.
Now, he’s turning his focus to San Francisco. And make no mistake: this isn’t about politics. It’s about saving lives and restoring the rule of law. Trump made it clear that the people of San Francisco want help. They are tired of watching their once-beautiful city crumble under the weight of left-wing failure. They want change, and they want it now.
Of course, the usual suspects are crying foul. Democrat governors like J.B. Pritzker in Illinois are trying to block Trump’s efforts to clean up crime in cities like Chicago. They argue that using the National Guard to fight crime somehow violates the Constitution. It’s nonsense. Trump rightly pointed out that the Insurrection Act has been used by many presidents before him. It is a legal, constitutional tool to protect our nation when local leaders fail to do their jobs.
What’s truly outrageous is that these Democrat leaders would rather defend lawlessness than admit they’ve failed. They care more about opposing Trump than protecting their own people. While families suffer and neighborhoods fall into ruin, they sit in their ivory towers and sneer at the very idea of restoring order.
President Trump isn’t waiting around for their permission. He understands that American cities are in crisis, and he’s ready to act. He’s not doing this because it wins him votes. He said himself, “I didn’t run on that.” He’s doing it because he cares deeply about this country and the people who live in it.
This is what leadership looks like. It’s bold. It’s unapologetic. And it puts the safety of Americans first. While the left continues to push for soft-on-crime policies and defund-the-police agendas, President Trump is taking real steps to fix the mess they created.
San Francisco can be great again. So can Chicago. So can every city that has been brought low by years of Democrat control. But it will take courage, strength, and a return to common sense. Thankfully, we have a president who understands that—and he’s not afraid to act.
We must support this effort with all our hearts. It’s time to clean up our cities, protect our communities, and restore the American way of life. The battle for our nation’s soul is being fought on the streets of our cities, and President Trump is leading the charge. Let us stand with him.
