This is scary. Leftist AI agrees with me.

This is a MC post.

Once in a while I like to have conversations with Google's AI. and ONCE IN A WHILE IT GETS THINGS RIGHT. Below is an example.

Has crime dropped since Trump sent in the National Guard?

Yes—at least in Washington, D.C., where the most visible deployment occurred, crime has dropped notably since Trump activated the National Guard and took temporary control of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Key crime reductions reported:

Homicides: D.C. went seven consecutive days without a single homicide, a rare occurrence.
Carjackings: Down by 83%
Robberies: Dropped 46%
Car thefts: Fell 21%
Overall violent crime: Decreased 22%

These figures suggest a measurable impact, especially in a city where police staffing has been critically low. Supporters argue that federal assistance filled a gap and restored public safety. Sgt. Betsy Smith of the National Police Association said, “More police generally equals less crime”

But being a left wing AI, it had to add its own two cents.

But there’s nuance:

Critics claim Trump exaggerated crime levels to justify the deployment, calling it a political stunt rather than a public safety measure3.

Mayor Muriel Bowser and others noted that crime had already been trending downward before the Guard arrived.

Some residents and officials worry the Guard’s presence lacks community trust and may only offer a temporary fix.

So yes, crime dropped—but whether the National Guard is the reason, or just one factor among many, is still up for debate.
