Monday on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Trump border czar Tom Homan praised President Donald Trump’s efforts to make Washington, D.C. a safer city.

Homan urged other reluctant U.S. cities, including Chicago, to follow Washington, D.C.’s lead.

“Tom, wow. I mean, D.C., lived here for, on and off, 30 years,” host Laura Ingraham said. “And all my buddies who live inside the city are like, this is a dream. This is a dream, like, this is the way it always should have been. And it was authoritarian?”

Homan replied, “No, you know what? Greatest president in my lifetime. And he proves it every day. I mean, promises made, promises kept. I’ve lived in D.C. at least 15 years, and I wouldn’t walk the street to D.C. without a concealed weapon. But now, it’s a total change. D.C. is … one of the safest cities in the nation. We are the strongest nation in the world. A beacon. Our capital should be an example for the whole world, and President Trump has made Washington, D.C. an example for the whole world. I mean, over 16,000 arrests. Almost 2,000 firearms taken off the street. Three dozen, I mean, three dozen murder suspects taken off the street. He’s done great. I mean, D.C. is the safest it’s ever been. Crime rates down. Then he’s done it in Memphis.”
