Washington, D.C., is such a hyperpoliticized city that it is nearly impossible to govern .

A Washington Post /Schar School poll found that 79% of the district’s residents oppose President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown in the city. The share of people who said they feel “very safe” in the city has risen from 26% in May to 39% now, with 78% of the total saying they feel at least somewhat safe in the city. As the dean of George Mason University’s Schar School told the outlet, “Trump’s overheated rhetoric about D.C. crime has evoked strong feelings among many residents offended by such characterizations of their city.”
