“LET TRUMP TAKE OVER!” Inner City D.C. Residents Say CRIME IS BAD! “I Got Shot Four Times!” (VIDEO)
While some political leaders and media outlets insist that Washington, D.C. is a safe and livable city, many longtime residents—particularly those in underserved inner-city neighborhoods—say otherwise. In recent interviews conducted in areas such as Anacostia and Deanwood, residents voiced growing frustration over crime, lack of resources, and what they see as inaction from city leadership.
“I don’t feel safe,” said one lifelong D.C. resident. “Let Trump take over. Let a man take over.”
The interviews, conducted by LindellTV White House Correspondent and Gateway Pundit reporter Cara Castronuova, sought input directly from residents in predominantly minority neighborhoods often affected most by violent crime. These areas stand in stark contrast to wealthier enclaves like Georgetown and Adams Morgan, where high-end homes and stronger police presence are more common.

One woman shared her support for President Donald Trump’s proposals to increase policing in troubled areas. “I’m very appreciative of what Trump is doing,” she said. “I think everything that he’s doing is helping D.C. as well as America.”
When asked what she would say to progressive D.C. residents who oppose federal intervention, she responded: “They don’t have to deal with the crime in other areas. They have better stores, better police protection. Around here, I wouldn’t want my grandchildren to walk.”
Others echoed the same concern. One man, visibly frustrated, shared his personal experiences: “I’ve been shot four times, attacked so many times. I’m just tired of it.”
Despite assurances from some local leaders that crime is under control, statistics and anecdotal reports continue to paint a different picture. Residents describe daily life in some neighborhoods as a struggle to stay safe, pointing to frequent shootings, carjackings, and other violent crimes.
“The youth in D.C. need more structure,” said one grandmother. “They need more policing and more programs.”
Another man added: “They don’t have no rec centers. No boxing teams like when we was coming up. Nothing out here for the youth, period.”
Even Uber drivers expressed concern for their safety. One driver said, “I got God. I got Jesus. He’s my protector,” indicating he relies on faith rather than infrastructure for safety.
Overall, the interviews highlight a disconnect between public narratives about safety in D.C. and the lived reality of residents in some of its hardest-hit communities. As crime continues to be a top concern, many locals say they want real solutions—and for some, that includes stronger policing and even federal support.
