President Trump is on a mission to get this nation cleaned up and he’s sending in federal agents where blue state governors are failing or flat out refusing to clean up the streets, and this time his next stop is Memphis, Tennessee. That’s right, the same Memphis that’s been topping charts for all the wrong reasons…violent crime, failing local leadership, and a Democrat mayor more focused on optics than outcomes. After wrapping up his 30-day federal intervention in Washington, D.C., where crime took a nosedive under a tough National Guard presence and zero tolerance policy, Trump is shifting focus to another city that’s spiraling out of control.
In an interview with Fox & Friends, Trump made it clear: “We’re going to Memphis. Memphis is deeply troubled.” He’s not wrong. According to the Daily Mail, Memphis clocked in a violent crime rate of 2,501 per 100,000 people in 2024. Compare that to the national average of 380, and it doesn’t take a genius to see this city is in crisis. But of course, the local Democrats pretend everything’s just fine while residents suffer the consequences of soft-on-crime policies and years of bureaucratic decay.
Here’s the kicker, Trump says even Democrat Mayor Paul Young is thrilled with the federal intervention. That should tell you everything you need to know about how bad things have gotten. When even the left is throwing in the towel and asking for help, you know the situation is off the rails.
Naturally, people are asking why Trump didn’t go straight to Chicago or Baltimore. His response? Classic Trump: “I would have preferred going to Chicago.” But thanks to Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who refuses to put politics aside and ask for federal assistance, Chicago gets to keep its weekly bloodbath going uninterrupted. Last weekend alone: 8 dead, 74 wounded. And some genius reporter tried to suggest Memphis was worse? “You think there’s worse than that? I don’t think so,” Trump said, shutting it down in seconds.
Let’s be real, though—this isn’t about just one city. It’s about proving that law and order isn’t some outdated slogan. It works. Trump proved it in D.C., and now Memphis is next. He’s bringing in the National Guard, federal resources, and, as he put it, “anybody else we need” to get the job done.
St. Louis might be up next, and Chicago is still on his radar, waiting on that invitation from its AWOL governor. But until then, the message is loud and clear: if Democrat mayors can’t or won’t fix their cities, Trump will.
