PNN – The US President says that the decrease in crime in Memphis, Tennessee, is due to his and his administration’s efforts.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing Anadolu Agency, US President Donald Trump says that the main reason for the decrease in crime rates in the city of Memphis, Tennessee, is the five-month efforts of his administration.
Trump wrote on his social media account, Truth Social: The only reason the crime rate in Memphis has gone down is because the FBI and others in the federal government, at my direction, have been working on extremely horrific crime statistics there for five months.

“However, our main work has not yet begun,” he added: This will happen when we officially announce that we are coming and when we do, as we did in very safe Washington, D.C., the miracle of the “crimeless crime” will begin. Only I can save them!!
Trump said on Friday that he would next deploy National Guard troops to Memphis, one of the largest cities in the Republican-led state of Tennessee, to crack down on crime.
The US President told Fox News that we are going to go to Memphis. Memphis is in deep trouble. We are going to fix this problem just like we did in Washington.
He added that the mayor of Memphis, a Democrat, was pleased with the move. However, the city’s mayor, Paul Young, told reporters that he had not requested the deployment of the National Guard.
Meanwhile, Lee Harris, the mayor of Shelby County, where Memphis is located, has “graciously” asked Tennessee Governor Bill Lee to “reconsider” the plan to send the National Guard to Memphis.
