A D.C. resident has gone viral after saying she feels “more safe than ever” following President Trump’s crime crackdown in the nation’s capital.
“Finally able to chill at a red light with my windows down, not worried if one of them young n—as is coming,” TikTok user bigdawglexi said in the nighttime video, smiling before letting out a contented sigh.
“Riding through the city, feeling more safe than I ever felt,” she added.
In a separate video, she said it had been “real quiet in the city, real livable, real ‘I like that,’” since the introduction of what she called “Trump’s Law.”

Earlier this week, Trump launched a major crime crackdown in DC, with 1,000 National Guardsmen deployed to the city in response to high levels of disorder.
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough criticized Democrats for downplaying concerns about crime in Washington, D.C., despite fears among Black residents — especially Black women.
On Morning Joe, Scarborough cited polling by The Washington Post and George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government, conducted April 22–May 4, to argue Democrats fail to grasp the depth of those concerns.
“The answer to this problem for Democrats is not, ‘Oh, everything’s okay. There’s nothing to see here. Move along, move along. Oh, Washington has dropped 24% or whatever in crime.’ Well, let me give you some other numbers,” Scarborough said. “The Washington Post took a poll in late April, early May. 91% of Washington residents say crime is a problem. 91% percent. 51% it is an extremely serious problem … we’ve had people before put this in racial terms … I must say this is one thing that I think Democrats have gotten so wrong about crime, so wrong about crime.”
Scarborough then read from the Post’s article on its polling.
“There are stark divides along lines of race and income in the poll, with Black residents and lower-income residents significantly more worried about crime than White residents and those with higher incomes,” the article reads. “As they were last year, Black women are among the most concerned, with 65 percent saying crime is a very or extremely serious issue, compared with 82 percent who said the same last year.”
